My daughter Razan is 10 years old. She already spent a year and a half receiving treatment at 57357.

She still has another year and a half to go. My daughter suffers from Leukemia which will necessitate 120 chemo sessions over 3 years. It is a long and difficult treatment journey during which children are exposed to many crises because of side effects of the disease and treatment and low immunity. The Emergency unit is responsible for dealing with any such crises the children go through. 

As soon as Razan started taking the chemo, her condition improved. Around the time of her 19^th session, she suddenly developed high fever, shivers and convulsions which compelled us to take her to the Emergency unit. She was in a critical condition that necessitated a rapid and precise intervention. The Emergency unit team put her on artificial respiration and gave her anti-convulsion treatment after which they transferred her to the critical care section.

A CT scan of the brain as required by consultants revealed that she had a fungal abscess which needed to be removed on the spot. She went to surgery, the abscess was successfully removed and her condition greatly improved. Subsequently, she needed to take a very costly medication for a period of 6 months, the cost of which (box for L.E. 20,000) was fully assumed by the hospital.   

After removal of the abscess, Razan resumed her chemo sessions. She still has 60 sessions to complete the treatment of leukemia which is terribly expensive but thank God for the Hospital which bears all the cost. Me and a host of other mothers of leukemia patients have high hopes in their recovery
