Her life was turned upside down following the disease afflicted her body and saddened her heart. Her story blew the hearts of the pioneers of social networking sites who interacted with her health condition because of her suffering from a rare skin disease that hijacked her smile.
It is the story of suffering experienced by Iman Boukhalfa, who hails from the municipality of El Afron in Blida, east of Algiers, following a rare case of skin cancer.
The young woman recounted, according to what was broadcast on the “An-Nahar” channel, that she discovered her illness in 2020, and her condition was monitored in “Mustafa Pasha” Hospital in the capital, where she underwent 4 health protocols, including chemotherapy, but the doctors assured her that there was no medicine to treat her condition in Algeria.
Eman revealed that she cannot even sleep, because of the severe pain that she does not leave because of the tumors that cover her body.
Despite all this, the young woman expressed her patience and hope to return to her normal life, like her peers, saying: “I always say, praise be to God, I want to go back.”
As before, chemotherapy did not work, and the doctors gave me hope for recovery if I went abroad for treatment.
Iman sent a letter of appeal to everyone who might help her with treatment and overcome her ordeal, especially since the cost of her treatment exceeds her family’s means, as she is the daughter of a retired professor of natural sciences.
In the hope that she will find an echo and attention to her condition, Eman remains steadfast, smiling and combating the disease. Her weapon is patience in the face of this illness, and she contemplates her previous images and looks forward to a better tomorrow.
