Former premier Nawaz Sharif's wife, Begum Kulsoom Nawaz, was on Friday discharged from a hospital in London after undergoing successful treatment for lymphoma a day earlier.

Zayd Hussain, son of Hussain Nawaz, announced through a Twitter post that his grandmother had returned home.

Zayd also expressed his gratitude “for the ongoing prayers” for his family.

Begum Kulsoom had been diagnosed with early-stage lymphoma earlier this month, with doctors hopeful that it would be curable.

She underwent surgery on Thursday and had been moved to the Intensive Care Unit following the procedure.

Successful surgery

Although there has been no official word on the surgery from the Sharif family, Maryam Nawaz, Sharif's daughter, retweeted messages congratulating her upon the successful completion of Begum Kulsoom's treatment.

Begum Kulsoom is the PML-N's candidate for the upcoming NA-120 by-poll on Sept 17. Maryam is running her mother's election campaign in her absence, while the rest of the family is with Begum Kulsoom in London.
