Before you read my story, Please make duaa for everyone suffering from any chronic/non chronic/terminal illnesses. May Allah make it easy on them and their families Insha'allah

(Ameen 🤲🏼)

Three years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I lost all hope in surviving, living or continuing with any daily activities for about 2 months after I was diagnosed. I hate myself and my thoughts. I just wanted to die.

I had just graduated from medical school and this was my fate? To have a disease rather than try to cure one. What a silly joke. This sounds dark, I know, It was a dark time in my life. Don't worry it's not a sad story, I'm alive now to tell this story to you.

I started my treatment immediately and it was emotionally and physically draining for both myself and my family. May allah be pleased with them

(Ameen 🤲🏼💙)

Alhumdulillah the treatment was going well, until a tragic incident occurred. My doctor who attended to me met in an accident and unfortunately lost his life. May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdous, Ameen.

(💔 💔 Ameen! 🤲🏼 💛)

With that, I reached a breaking point. My doctor gave me the strength every day and he was the only one who I trusted. I refused to go for any more treatment [Yeah I know I'm so dramatic] because he was not there.

They informed me that a new doctor would be taking care of me and that I shouldn't worry. I refused, and I started getting sick about a week later and I felt like crap. I decided I was being stupid and I couldn't do this to myself, my family and my beloved doctor

(I've never consciously thought about this before... That the family and loved ones play such an important role and are such an important motivating factor to the patient in that: they try to get better so that their family doesn't have to deal with the heartbreak. Subhan'Allah)

(This is so sad tho for people who don't have families or a strong support circle. May Allah protect us all and bless us with a kind family and close loved ones💙)

So I agreed to the new doctor and they scheduled my treatment.
The first day back for my treatment and I meet my new doctor. To say I was shocked was an understatement. The doctor was female.

And not just any female. The most beautiful and angelic female I have ever laid my eyes on

I wanted to have her to have children.
I was star struck. I couldn't talk. She asked me questions and I kept stuttering and turning red.

(this is actually me just reading this story😭😭😭😭😭😭)

But she was so nice and she didn't seem to think anything was wrong. From that day I looked forward to going to hospital just so I could see her. I found out if she was married from the nurses... and she wasn't

I wanted to shoot my shot so badly, but who would want to date and marry someone with cancer right?

(💔This hit me so hard I'm not even lying😓😓)

Someone who is halfway on their death bed, and you want to make a future with them? Seems delusional to me.

(رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ)

That was the only thing keeping me from telling her that I was interested. Actually no, I lie, it was also my bald head. I hated it. My confidence took a plunge everytime I looked at myself in the mirror

But at least it was a beautiful, shiny bald head.
(Allahuma barik subhan'Allah may Allah bless you always)

Anyway, a few months went by and I couldn't handle it anymore, I had to ask her

So one day when she walked into the room I said probably the dumbest things I could come up with, and I regret it to this day, "I know that you might think I'm dying due to cancer, but I believe that I might die without you in my life"

(MY GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY)

And immediately she started laughing and blushing. I thought I was pretty slick tbh. I mean I made her laugh, that's all that mattered.

(WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

After that she and I spoke and I told her that I liked her and I understood that my current situation might not be the best for a serious relationship and understand if she rejected me

She looked me dead in the eyes and said that she liked me too but was afraid of telling me in case I thought she was being inappropriate since she's my doctor and I'm her patient

I was speechless. She liked me while I had a bald head? Nah bro I might just love her

(Bro I'm crying)

Fast forward a week after my confession, I went with my family to her families home and I proposed. We planned the engagement and wedding and got married a month later Alhumdulillah

(CAN I GET AN ALLAHU AKBAR)

I took a leap and I am proud. I married the woman I love who is the mother of my beautiful child. I am now cancer free Alhumdulillah and the happiest I've EVER been

(My heart is all over the place rn😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️I'm crying real tears😭 😭 😭
(سُبْحـانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْـدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْـقِه ، وَرِضـا نَفْسِـه ، وَزِنَـةَ عَـرْشِـه ، وَمِـدادَ كَلِمـاتِـه)

We both work at the same hospital now and Insha'allah still continue to spend the rest of our lives together. To think I was in such a dark place back then and how far I've come. Life is never what it seems, put your trust in Allah always, Shukran

(MY GOOSEBUMPS HAVE GOOSEBUMPS)

(GUUUUUYYYYYSSSSSSS)
