Not Enough That Only My Wife? His Wife Died from Breast Cancer, Then His Child Was Diagnosed with Deadly Bone Cancer
In early 2012, Arbi was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer, when he was already a teenager. Doctors gave his father a grim prognosis — Arbi would not survive more than six months, even with surgery or chemotherapy. The diagnosis was devastating, especially since his mother had passed away from breast cancer years earlier.
With no other options left, Arbi began ECCT therapy in mid-2012. The treatment managed to stop the cancer from spreading, but the dead tumor tissue hardened inside his arm and could not be expelled naturally. Determined to survive without surgery, he continued the therapy for years until the decaying mass began to detach and exit his arm through a small opening — a process that was painful yet bloodless, resembling coral-like fragments.
After five years of perseverance, Arbi finally chose to amputate his arm to end the burden he had carried for so long. Today, more than 12 years later, he remains healthy, active, and cancer-free, continuing to use the ECCT device as protection against recurrence or metastasis — a true symbol of endurance and hope.
