Hameeda Nasir was 26 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is the sole earner of her family. \u201cIt was May 2017, when I got to know about my cancer. I was pretty devastated and scared and in shock. My family was planning my wedding in September of that year. I got really anxious and depressed after knowing I have breast cancer. I was not able to sleep at nights.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>tells Hameeda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even with the diagnosis, Hameeda kept pushing herself. \u201cI was on chemotherapy for a year and a half, in treatment, and was also working to run my house. I didn\u2019t have time to rest. I had my double mastectomy in July 2017 and went back to work two weeks later. That was the only way I was going to be able to pay for the surgery and chemo while still being able to pay rent of our house and have a livelihood. The whole process was incredibly challenging, humbling, and scary at times.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> says Hameeda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After enduring hair loss and menopause as a result of treatment, her fianc\u00e9 left her and refused to marry her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hameeda says, \u201cLife after breast cancer was not easy for me. I puked, I cramped. I was tired. I was irritable. I was desolate. I was terrified. I was lonely.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou are never the same after going through cancer treatment, from every aspect of life. You are forever changed physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It has been 5 years since my diagnosis of Stage 3 breast cancer and I am still trying to find my new normal.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n says Hameeda Nasir<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article was take from the pink ribbion hospital website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hearing the words \u201cyou have breast cancer\u201d changes the lives of thousands of women every year in Pakistan.
