Dr Benita Tan is away, so i met a lady doctor. She told me that the cell is cancerous and suggested that i go for surgery. There are three types of surgery to choose:
1) Remove only the cancerous part which is only about 70 to 80%
2) Remove the whole breast which is 99%
3) Remove and reconstructed the breast using the stomach muscle.
Unable to give my decision as i was in total numb to feeling at that moment. I shed tears when one of the nurses comforted me outside the doctor's room.
They referred me to consult Sister Sara for further clarification on breast surgery. I requested to wait for my husband. Went out and call my husband but he is on the way for Friday prayer. Called him again, he is back to hotel. I asked him to come to SGH. Waited for him and found a place to talk at taxi stand. Told him that i have been diagnosed breast cancer.
Went in to consult sister Sara, but was referred to Sister Shanti. She explained all the procedures. I choose the second option, to remove the whole breast and lymph nodes.

How do i feel?
I accepted the fact, but still hoping that it is not too serious but worried.
