My older aunt! My older aunt’s name is Fatemehsadat. She is 58 years old. I like her so much because she is really nice to me and every other people. I think she is very talented because she cooks very delicious and she sews very beautiful. Everybody in my family believes that she is really calm, polite, affectionate, and also hospitable.

Two months ago when she went to her gynecologist for normal checkups the doctor had asked her to take some extra tests to see whether she has any problems or not. The gynecologist believed that something is wrong with her breast so she wants to check if she has got breast cancer or not. Two of my mother’s aunts had suffered from cancer so one of the main reasons for that immediate tests were my aunt’s family background.

After all, my aunt was really sad about that and she decided to call my mother to talk to her so that some of her bad thoughts go away.

After she got the results of her tests her gynecologist told her that you have got some small cancer tumor so next week we have to take them out of your body by breast surgery. When she came out of the doctor’s surgery she had cried a lot because she was really afraid.

In between these harmful problems she called me to talk a bit with me to decrease her nervousness. After I found out that she needs to do so I took my cellphone and texted my uncle who was a gynecologist in Germany for 40 years to know according to test results whether he is agree with her doctor or not and him about the surgery and ways of remedy for her illness. When he saw her test results he told me that she has to do the surgery and there is no way to skip it. He also asked me to send her test results after the surgery to see whether she needs chemotherapy or not.

2 or 3 days after my aunt’s surgery my uncle called me to know about her and the result of her surgery because I was really worried about her when I first texted him and he realized that. He also explained a lot about the cure ways of cancer in Germany and then he told me that in general our cure system in Iran is very much more like American’s.

Anyways my aunt is much better now. She had to do chemotherapy 4 times and she has done 2 times of them till now. I hope she gets well soon and every night I pray for her and every other people who are suffering from cancer in the world to be cured as soon as possible.
