Emirati cancer survivor commits to spreading hope

 

Emirati cancer

Emirati cancer survivor Sumaia Alkaabi who won her battle against the disease is now on a mission to use her experience to raise awareness and bring hope in the lives of other patients.

Ms Alkaabi, 32, a mother of three, visits people in the hospital, celebrates the end of their exhausting chemotherapy sessions and uses social media to help individuals and families who are bravely fighting day in and day out.

Ms Alkaabi said she felt a lump while breastfeeding her baby in the middle of 2019, but was only diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020.

“Seven months of tests and check-ups did not help in finding out the nature of the mass,” she told 

“Only after I changed my doctor and went to Barjeel hospital, they were able to immediately give a diagnosis.”

She said she stopped breastfeeding and began her treatment journey with surgery to remove the lump. This was followed by a number of condensed chemotherapy sessions in which higher doses were given over a few days.
