Begum Kulsoom Nawaz was taken to the hospital in an emergency last night, Maryam Nawaz tweeted on Wednesday.
Doctors are trying to stabilise her condition, Maryam wrote, requesting for prayers for her mother's recovery.
The wife of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif was diagnosed with early-stage lymphoma last month and has been in London since, where she has undergone three surgeries.
Kulsoom left for the United Kingdom in August, before she could begin campaigning for the NA-120 seat that was vacated after Nawaz Sharif's disqualification. Due to her diagnosis, she could not return to Pakistan and her campaign was run by her daughter Maryam instead. She won the elections after a close contest with Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf's Dr Yasmin Rashid.
The Election Commission of Pakistan formally notified Kulsoom as the returned candidate in the NA-120 by-poll on Wednesday.
Nawaz Sharif, who was also in London for his spouse's medical treatment, returned to Pakistan on Monday, putting to rest all speculation by political rivals that he would skip the National Accountability Bureau court proceedings against him.
All other members of the family, including daughter Maryam and sons Hussain and Hassan, are still in London.

I pray for her speedy recovery.
I also remember my aunt died because of a lack of ambulance services where she lived, she died in our family friends car most Pakistan don't have clean water and basic infrastructure for emergencies like stroke or heart attack etc., There were no ambulance infrastructure and traffic laws and still Pakistan has not improved it's almost the same. This is all because the political lack of visionary leadership who go abroad for their own treatments and the Awam/Janta lives are not as sacred as theirs. Sorry state of Affairs of Pakistan due to PPPZ PML Nawaz.

All you guys see is the negative stuff .By the we came to this stage not just in Four years. There was a 15 years gap between this and the last Gov't of Nawaz and in between was Pakistan a Modern society? This Gov't has distributed Millions of Health support cards in all Four Provences.

Kindly make use of the billions you have stolen from Pakistan to get your mother the best treatment Harley Street can buy.
Also kindly remember the many in Pakistan who cannot afford basic treatment in your very own city of Lahore, where there women share one bed to deliver their babies or the son who's mother was placed on the freezing hospital floor because there were insufficient hospital beds in the busy winter months. Of course the mother passed away.
May your mother recover fully.

My sympathies with Sharif family. Lymphoma is not a common form of Cancer in this country. as it had been spotted in early stages it may be contained.
My advise she should cease a hectic life style. Modify intake of food on advise of a dietician. Cut down eating meat Take every day slurpy of dried nuts, various berries, fruit juices blended together as break fast, Reduce weight and do regulars exercises as programmed by a Physiotherapist.
Good luck and best wishes

Well she must be missing her husband. Her husband must go back. Wish he would have helped to create better medical facilities for himself and rest of the Pakistanis in Pakistan. But looks like people of Pakistan do not prefer those who work for the improved facilities at home.

There is not a single hospital or doctor to treat the elite and leaders in Pakistan? If so shame on all of them. I think it is inferior complex. It should be banned to fund the treatment abroad for all Government officials and ministers.

Prayers for Begum Sahiba, being a member of a family who's Head is suffering from Stage-3B cancer i can vouch for it that there have never emergencies where we had to rush to the Hospital. Yes there are days and days spent at the Hospitals and between the Chemo/Radio Therapy sessions, however and Alhamdulilah never had we to rush to the Hospital in an emergency.
On top of it, what i would like to say is that all the facilities of cancer treatment in Pakistan are at par with the world. Aga Khan in Karachi, Shaukat Khanum in Lahore and many other centers of excellence are catering and curing thousands if not millions of patients. Why do they always have to rush to London ?
In this dubious circumstances, is it just to make case for dady's departure to London ?

Maryam is exaggerating the severity of her condition. Actually the video on TV shows her being wheeled out of Ufgent care which is like a walk in clinic. This is where patients go for non emergent health issues Otherwise they go to emergency for very serious issues. Maryam is making this up to make her mother look sicker than she is. I believe this is being done to to gain public sympathy and divert attention from ongoing legal matters.
