Husseinat’s Cancer Journey
Her journey with cancer began in March 2018. At first, she experienced no painful symptoms, but her mother noticed a white spot in her eye. She also observed that Husseinat’s vision was partially impaired.
A few weeks before her diagnosis, Husseinat felt unwell, and her mother noticed swelling around her left eye. They went to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye).
Husseinat, a very cheerful child who loved dancing, went through a lot. She underwent a series of tests and investigations, chemotherapy, and was scheduled for surgery; she was also considered for radiation therapy.
Her favourite meals were Golden Morn cereal and cold sweet tea.
Unfortunately, Husseinat gained her angel wings in June 2018. Our prayers continue to be with her parents.
