Cancer Children: The illness kills them
|
and their yearning for their mothers exhausts them
By Nour Bassmaji
Translated by Schadi Semnani
"That illness" we call it, as if it were a demon or an evil spirit that would leap up at the mere mention of its name! Although many countries have developed effective treatment for cancer, fear of it still lives in our hearts. Maybe we fear it because of the finite number of treatments which don't even eliminate the possibility of relapse and don't distinguish between the young and the old. So if this disease is to be called a catastrophe when it befalls one of us, how can we possibly describe it when it attacks children? |
