Two weeks after the Surgery, we attended the Colorectal clinic at Fremantle Hospital to discuss the biopsy result of the surgery.
Hubby suffered a migraine as we were waiting there. A while later, came our turn. I remember hubby struggling to see as his vision was blurred on one side. The doctor began discussing the result. What we heard next was absolutely unbelievable.
The result stated that the cancer has spread to multiple lymph nodes. Hubby had stage 3c bowel cancer. The next treatment plan was chemotherapy for 6 months. And that our children need to be monitored for colon cancer.
I couldn't control my tears. We just realized that another trial from Allah has befallen us. We held our hands and walked back to the waiting room.
Dad and my little girl were waiting for us. Me and hubby were quite affected that we couldn't talk to dad regarding what the doctor said. We just walked back to the car and dad began driving. I still remember the stillness in the car. Finally hubby explained the situation.
It was indescribable. May Allah protect us and our children from calamities.
The Prophet Muhammad ( peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him ) said “A man will be tested according to the
level of his religious commitment, and the trials will keep affecting a slave of Allaah until he is left walking on the face of the earth with no burden of sin whatsoever.” (Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah , 3249).

May Allah accept our patience and forgive us of any discontentment we have shown.
