Assalamualaikum, my name is Muhammad Adam Ilzickry. I am 35 years old and I’m from Subang Jaya, Selangor.

I would like to share with everyone that I was diagnosed with testicular cancer (early stage) on the 20th of November 2023, during my birthday month ☹ My left testicle had grown to an abnormal size and I experienced tremendous pain until I had to go on medical leave and could not go to work, so I went to Hospital Kuala Lumpur’s urology department and after a few tests they confirmed that my cancer markers were very high and I’m suffering from cancer. In December, I then went for a CAT Scan and on 26 January 2024 the urologist confirmed that the cancer had spread to my lungs, bones and lower left abdomen. Alhamdulilah, I am currently on my third cycle of chemotherapy but with 4 sessions to complete followed by another CAT Scan to check if the cancer is gone, I am actually very scared and fearful.

No one tells you how cancer can also potentially wreck your financial management. In addition to the gruelling chemotherapy sessions, tiredness and stress, there are now days where I have been going hungry. While I am thankful that I have my sister helping me out whenever she can, there are days where financially, I am struggling. I am hungry. So in the holy spirit of this holy month of Ramadan, I am appealing for any kind soul out there to donate just a bit so that saya dengan keluarga saya boleh makan.

I’m married with 1 baby daughter and it’s extremely tough for me right now as my company is only allowing me to claim for 60 days of hospitalization. After that, I face an uncertain future as I may get my salary reduced, or even might not have a job if I am unable to stay healthy enough to resume work ☹ 

I’m really in need of help and would be grateful for any donations or financial aid. Through these hard times, only the thought of beating cancer so that I can take care of my daughter and my wife is keeping me going, InsyaAllah. But I can’t do it without some help. I’ve got the hospital bills pending, and still need to buy baby milk, diapers, etc. I’m not really sure where to start – all I can hope for is that this appeal reaches out to as many kind souls as possible. I don’t need life-changing money… I just want to be able to eat some days, sebab lapar.

Thank you for hearing me out, may Allah bless your good deeds and your kind soul, InsyaAllah.
