KEADAAN bayi berusia lapan bulan yang menderita kanser 'germ cell tumor' di bahagian mulut, Ainul Mardhiah Ahmad Safiuddin, stabil selepas melalui lima jam pembedahan.

Hal itu dimaklumkan doktor pelatih surgikal yang bertugas di United Kingdom, Dr. Amalina Che Bakri, menerusi satu entri di Instagram.

Pembedahan dijalankan oleh sepasukan doktor pakar diketuai Profesor David Dunaway dan Dr. Juling Ong.

Dr. Amalina yang turut bersama-sama dalam pembedahan itu berkata, Ainul seorang bayi yang kuat dan pembedahan berkenaan berjaya membuang tumor seberat 200 gram dari mulutnya.

Alhamdulillah, Ainul, you’re strong baby girl! After about 5 hours of battling in theatre, the tumour (weigh 200g) was successfully removed. You could not imagine how anxious I was, whilst in theatre. Such a tiny baby, so delicate, so beautiful — “don’t worry baby, everyone is here to help you”. Because it was such a high risk operation, a lot of preparations needed to be done before the operation to ensure that baby Ainul was safe. A lot of planning, a lot of scans, a lot of meetings and a lot of patience. The team included surgeons from various specialties (including craniofacial, plastics and head and neck consultants) led by Prof David Dunway and Mr Juling Ong. They’re very experienced in their own respective field. I was very honoured to be part of the surgical team. Ainul is currently being monitored post-operatively and she’s stable. When I stepped out from theatre and saw Ainul’s parents, I couldn’t control my emotions. It was a mixed feeling, such an emotional journey and an uplifting experience at the same time. Ainul, Wani and Safi are like my own family. Let’s pray for Ainul’s recovery. Thank you for all your prayers. (Consent was given by Ainul’s parents for this story to be on IG)

"Lima jam dalam dewan bedah, keseluruhan tumor berjaya dibuang. Anda tidak dapat bayangkan bagaimana resahnya saya sepanjang tempoh itu.

"Ia pembedahan berisiko tinggi, banyak persediaan perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan Ainul selamat dan pembedahan berjalan lancar," tulisnya.

Sementara itu, bapa Ainul, Ahmad Safiuddin berkongsi rasa syukur dan gembiranya susulan kejayaan pembedahan itu.


"Terharu dan sangat gembira. Tak terkata apa apa sebab tak boleh nak gambarkan perasaan sejak semalam.

"Sekarang Ainul masih dijaga dengan rapi untuk monitoring.

"Untuk makluman, Ainul belum sedar lagi. Mereka bagi Ainul 'tidur' dulu sebab kalau Ainul bangun, mungkin dia akan rasa sakit selepas pembedahan.

"Kita teruskan berdoa untuk Ainul ya," tulisnya di Facebook.

Ainul menjalani rawatan di London dan telah berada di sana sejak beberapa minggu lalu.
