Our people have to go up and down the country to get treatment, to Islamabad, Karachi and so on.

good news.... hope cancer becomes obsolete in the near future but we need better education to spot these silent killers.... girls examine yourselves for any lumps or bumps and same applies to you as well guys.... spot red flags:
bone pain
weight loss
fatigue
i mean i knew one woman who nly presented after she noticed blood squirting from her nipple and then decided to go 2 a Doctor despite a mass the size of a football in her breast.... by this time of course the cancer had spread through her body establishing secondaries and maiing survival very unlikely and this was in England!
let there be no issues of shyness or anything like that.... theres nothing in the human body that a Doctor hasnt seen before

That's great! It's just ridiculous amount of people that are dying out of cancer and I am glad Pekhawris now don't have to spend their money by going all the way to Punjab, while spending on cancer treatment only will cost them a fortune.
