Mohammad Azhdari

Biography

Mohammad holds a degree in Biomedical Engineering and has experience as a volunteer research assistant in cancer toxicology projects at the University of Bradford. After completing his undergraduate studies, he pursued postgraduate research but had to pause his academic journey due to unforeseen circumstances and ongoing medical treatments. Beyond his academic and research background, Mohammad has a deep passion for writing, particularly on topics related to medical and cancer research, philosophy, psychology, and literature. His motivation to contribute to Cancer Care Parcel stems from a personal experience; during his first year of university, his mother was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. As a refugee at the time, followed by COVID-19 outbreak and international travel restrictions in place, traveling home to support her in person was not an option. Instead, he found other ways to help, staying connected through video calls, scheduling online therapy and one-to-one home-visit training/activity sessions, researching supportive care strategies based on recommendations from caregivers and the wider cancer support community, and sending her relevant books or thoughtful packages to provide comfort during her treatment. Through these experiences, Mohammad gained a profound understanding of the emotional and practical challenges faced by those affected by cancer. Now, he hopes to give back to the community that provided him with support, using his writing to offer insight, comfort, and guidance to others navigating similar journeys.
