At the end of the lecture, many misconceptions about this disease changed in the minds of the attendees.
It is worth noting that the medical supervision of this disease, the operations that the patient may need, medicines and radiation, all of this is based on the donations of charitable people and that the treatment period may extend for a period of three or four years.
And what aroused the strong sympathy of the club members was the humanitarian tone that the two doctors spoke and the feelings of dedication to serving the patients.
Among the attendees for that lecture were Mrs. Nihal Al-Bakri, Deputy National Representative, district 95 Egypt & Jordan, Mrs. Awatef Al-Nasharti, past chairman, and Eng. Amr El-Gohary, Honorary Secretary of the Rotary Club of Nasr City.
