LONDON: Begum Kulsoom Nawaz, wife of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, was on Monday discharged from hospital after being admitted for 10 hours. She was admitted to Harley Street Clinic in an emergency Sunday morning, by her sons Hassan and Hussain Nawaz.
Kulsoom has been undergoing chemotherapy in London after being diagnosed with lymphoma — a cancer of the lymph nodes on August 22 last year by British doctors.
In the past seven years, she went through six chemotherapy sessions and three surgeries.
After a series of scans last week, doctors noticed the reappearance of the tumor. A team of doctors will now decide on further surgery along with strong radiotherapy treatment.
Earlier, Kulsoom had left for London unexpectedly on August 17 for a medical checkup — on the day when her nomination papers for the NA-120 constituency were accepted in the midst of much political hype.
