"I am a person who dreams and achieves his dreams, I am a life maker in the world of death and a distributor of smiles to frowns. I am a seeker of peace in the midst of war, and I was born from her womb and made peace my placenta." With these words, the young Mustafa Nader introduces himself, as he strives to instill hope in the hearts of cancer patients everywhere in the world, starting from his homeland, Iraq, and his ambition is to succeed in spreading positivity and reviving human values ​​among people.

He works as a photographer and producer in a number of media outlets, but his relationship with cancer did not begin when he contracted it in 2014, but before that time; As he was playing a humanitarian role in psychologically supporting cancer patients, and later discovered that he had the disease, he did not surrender to it and fought it until it was victorious over it.

Mustafa says, "I had a feeling that I would get cancer, and I was thinking about how to confront it, but I was expelling these thoughts, and when I learned of my injury, I had two options, either to fight or to surrender."

He continues talking about the feeling he had at the beginning of his cancer: "Fear was present in the beginning, of death and loss, but in the end you do not have many options. Either you fight or be killed," noting that "psychological preparation has a great and effective role in fighting cancer; energy Positivity has proven successful in defeating many incurable diseases, such as liver, kidney, lung and cancer diseases, and the psychological factor is very important in helping to heal.”

When Mustafa decided to confront, he called himself the "cancer fighter" and entered the battle as a fierce fighter, and decided to wear a red military hat, especially since the chemotherapy was not easy, as it caused him to lose hair and lose weight.

And he continued, "The red hat symbolizes the warrior, and of course I had to wear a hat, so I chose the one worn by soldiers in the army and from it I drew strength and likened myself to a warrior and refused to name a patient."

He points out that he initially worked on a "project to transform the word of a patient into a warrior, and this matter succeeded, and today I am victorious over cancer, thanks to God first and by adhering to medication and chemotherapy, as well as with psychological and positive energy."

Mustafa today is the owner of a great human achievement; He planted hope in the hearts of cancer patients, as well as within the healthy people who follow him, and they follow every cancer patient bearing the slogan “cancer fighter, whose numbers are increasing in Arab countries while they are fighting the disease under this slogan.” Mustafa’s achievement extended to include the establishment of a “group” on social media to fight cancer. , Its components are survivors of the disease themselves.

He points out that after his victory over the disease, he began forming a cancer fighting team, adding, "Today, I communicate with more than 250 cancer patients among survivors, fighters and injured. We have a group on Facebook in the name of cancer fighters, and weekly we visit children, if not more than once. A week in the hospital, we visit them while they take a dose of chemotherapy, we play and talk to them, we tell them that we were like them and we survived, and thus we issue them people who imitate them and heroes to imitate them, and we tell them that they are cancer fighters and survivors soon.”

Mustafa strongly believes that positivity is the secret behind success in everything, and works in this field by employing his energies and technical capabilities, voluntarily and without compensation; He believes that a person should always take the positive side to create a smile and peace.
