In Malaysia , it seems 1 out of 4 people suffer from cancer and this is a revelation for me.
I have a few friends most of them women who were diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancer.
No one seems to know why there is a high incidence of cancer cases but I was told it was due to our lifestyle.
One of my close colleagues was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago and she found the lump during a self-examination. She went for a mammogram but it could not be picked up.
On her doctor’s advice, she did a biopsy and found that it was cancerous. She had a lumpectomy followed by radiation treatment.
One year later, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer but this did not mestasize from her earlier cancer.
She underwent full chemo treatment this time and is now on the road to recovery.
