Maruf and breast cancer
8 years ago, Maruf started feeling a pain in his left chest for months where he thought it is not severe and things are not serious. After a while, he decided to go with some lab tests in addition to MRI scans to examine the reason behind the pain he is in. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with cancer stage 2 back then but the support of his family and loved ones made him stronger. The treatment started day by day and as we all know this treatment is considered the hardest on any patient physiologically and physically. Going into this stage, Maruf started losing some of his hair and strength and facing life without being able to do anything to support himself. Financially, Maruf wasn’t able to handle the treatment, so he had to work part time night shifts in addition to his permanent full-time job. After a while things became more difficult, so he had to travel back home to do the operation and complete his treatment.
