Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's wife Kulsoom Nawaz was diagnosed with throat cancer on Tuesday, the media reported.
Kulsoom, who left for London at a time when nomination papers for a Lahore seat were being scrutinised, came back after three medical check-ups.
According to British doctors, her cancer can be treated, Geo News reported.
Kulsoom got her nomination papers after the Lahore seat fell vacant post Sharif's disqualification by the Supreme Court on July 28. The by-election is scheduled on September 18.
