I never thought blood cancer was possible as blood cells are always refreshing themselves.

I don’t know much about blood cancer other than what I just Googled this morning.

It’s apparently known by people in the profession as Hematological Malignancies and once it’s in the blood it can also affect bone marrow and Lymph Nodes (whatever they are – haven’t had time to Google them yet).

I’m not a professional in this field, but it sounds serious as the blood and bone marrow are part of the immune system (I remember this from GCSE Biology). And once your imune system goes.....

Imagine going to the doctors and them telling you that blood cancer is what you have. Don’t know about you, but it would crush me to learn of such a thing.

Imagine if this was revealed to you a short time after being discharged from hospital after having an operation for a serious heart condition.

How old would you have to be to suffer from all these things?

Well, my first cousin who recently found out he is suffering from blood cancer (yesterday), after having a pacemaker put in (two months ago), is in his early 20s

He doesn’t want you to give him blood or money or anything like that. All he humbly requests is that you spare a thought and prayer for him.

I especially feel sorry for his mother who lost a son to a heart condition a number of years ago and then lost her husband and now this with her youngest son.

May Allah make it easy for him and his family through this tough time.

Ameen.
