Arij Fatyma Instagram – For the past few months, I’ve gone back and forth about whether or not to share my journey with my Instagram family. The reason is simple— not everyone who follows you is truly happy for your happiness, sad for your sadness, or grieving for your grief. Sincerity can be rare.
Still, I decided to share this because I believe it’s important to educate those who may not know about this condition so they can take their health seriously.
I was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma cancer—and it was caught very early, which is a huge blessing. I’m so thankful because, in most cases, it’s discovered too late. Choriocarcinoma is a very aggressive cancer that spreads quickly. It often develops after a molar pregnancy, which happens when abnormal tissue grows in the uterus instead of a normal pregnancy. While molar pregnancies themselves are uncommon, in very, very, very rare cases, they can turn into choriocarcinoma—like mine did.
Alhamdulillah, I am blessed to be living what feels like a second life. Alhamdulillah for my family. Alhamdulillah for everything that happened—because this illness was written in my destiny, yet Allah helped me overcome it and brought me closer to Him in ways I can never thank Him enough for.
Even though I now have years of follow-up tests ahead of me to make sure it doesn’t return, I’m still deeply grateful. In fact, the thought of it coming back keeps me grounded, reminds me of death, and makes me live more intentionally.
Please educate yourself. Don’t take your health lightly. Get yourself checked regularly. I didn’t have many symptoms, but Alhamdulillah, my cancer was diagnosed early.
Please keep me and my family in your prayers. In moments when you’re face-to-face with death, nothing matters more than your family—and the thought of how you will stand before God.
