Our son, Aamir, is outgoing and has a wide range of interests. He loves gaming on his PS5, with Fortnite and Spider-Man being his favorites. He enjoys fishing, cooking, and riding both electric and gas-powered toys. He has a curious mind, always eager to learn how things work and explore creating new things. His resilience and enthusiasm shine through even during tough times.
On May 10, 2023, our son was diagnosed with cancer. Before his diagnosis, he experienced fatigue, chest pains, swollen lymph nodes, fever, and a change in skin pigmentation. Despite his condition, he currently has no major limitations.
His treatment journey has included chemotherapy, a chest tube, a feeding tube, bone marrow biopsies, and lumbar punctures. While navigating these treatments, we occasionally face challenges helping him move around, participate in family activities, and manage eating difficulties and “chemo brain.” Financial insecurities have also added to the struggles.
Our family life has changed drastically. We’ve shifted from traveling and attending events with confidence to being more cautious and alert about our surroundings. We’ve also adjusted our eating habits and face financial challenges while frequently traveling for treatments.
