A close sister of mine has a five year old nephew who has been diagnosed with Leukemia :( Please make duah for him.

She needed to find out information on Bone Marrow transplant facilities either in the US or Lahore (or anywhere else where quality and price can be balanced out).

If you have any information on price, location, contact info....or you have been through it yourself please either reply here or IM me and I will put you in touch with her. She and her family need all the help and support anyone can offer.

Jazakumu Allahu Khayran,
Sis in struggle.

The City of Hope hospital in Los Angeles does bone marrow transplants.  Its very expensive, and then finding a donor is a difficult and long process.

All I can do is pray that it is found for him.  May Allah (SWT) make it possible easily.

I am sorry to hear about this:( May Allah make everything easy for them. And give this little boy and his family everything they need to get through this difficult time. Ameen.

Bone Marrow transplants should be done at *most* major centres in the US.  Finding a donor, on the other hand, is quite a challenge, which I pray Allah will help them through.  It is *expensive* anywhere, I suppose...:(  There is a world-wide registry of donors that I read about when a little Muslim boy here needed a transplant.   Please let them contact a dedicated PAEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY unit in a good Childrens' hospital!! There should be at least ONE good kiddies hospital near them, inshaAllah.  The oncology units for kids, are usually very very good, and they will know all the ins and outs of transplants, where what and how...inshaAllah khair!

Our prayers are with them, pls let us know how things go...

Wasalam
Shahida-who gets so sad thinking about kids with cancer...:(  My Duaas are with them.

I share your grief cos one of my friend is diagnosed as having bone cancer.  She is 40years old and her youngest son is 13. She has 2 other children.  Poor girl was in so much pain when I visited.

May Allah SWT grant them shifaa Amin

The procedure would be much cheaper in neighboring india.

Wa'alaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullah,

                May Allah make it easy for the child and family (Ameen). Alhamdulillah, there are three Bone Marrow Transplant units in Pakistan now, after they recently opened one in Agha Khan University Hospital, Karachi. The other two are Bismillah Taqee Institute of Health Sciences and Blood Diseases Centre, Karachi and Armed Forces Medical Hospital, Rawalpindi. I would recommend that they should go for Agha Khan University Hospital.

Bismillah Taqee Institute of Health Sciences & Blood Diseases Centre
ST-19, Block-5, Rashid Minhas Road,
Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi,
Pakistan.
Tel: 92-21-481-2902, Fax: 92-21-481-2900,
E-mail: btbdc@cyber.net.pk

If they are looking for one in States, they can find it here: http://www2.bmtinfonet.org/centers/

Wassalam.
