The following article was written on 3/5/2010. I'm reproducing this as a major throwback in my life.
"In February 2009, whilst showering, I couldn't help but notice the difference in my LB, as compared to my RB. It seemed to be harder! Chills ran down my spine, but I just couldn't make myself believe that I might be the latest statistic in the BC phenomenon. Trauma with a Capital T ruled over me during the next few months. I knew that I shouldn't delay taking the necessary action, but then.....that was just what I did! I kept praying constantly that it was nothing, and that I would wake up in the morning to find that 'IT' had gone with the wind! However, with each passing day, 'IT' was still there, as large as life, itself.
On 3/5/2009, sad and teary-eyed, I opened myself up to my family doctor, and ever so gently, he asked me to go for a mammogram at JSH, and see the gynae/specialist there for a thorough check-up. STILL, I could afford to delay things further. Finally, after confiding in my youngest sibling, I embarked on my CA journey on 26/6/2009. My sibling was my pillar of strength, who saw me go through the various stages of treatment, (M, CT, RT) and the ensuing review visits at PSHJB and HSIJB.
This year, 2018 sees me going through my ninth year of being a CA Survivor. Syukur Alhamdulillah. Ameen....."
