Sources informed Geo News, that a surgeon has surgically inserted a port inside Kulsoom's body to prepare her for chemotherapy, which will be held on Wednesday at an oncology centre in London. 

Doctors have told the family that at least around 18 weeks are required for the full cycle of chemotherapy, sources informed. 

Maryam had run a successful campaign for the PML-N while her mother received medical treatment in London, resulting in PML-N securing Nawaz's 'home seat' in NA-120.
