The Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA) organized a hi-tea for newly breast cancer survivors at the Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa last Sunday.
About 20 women, most of them in their late thirties and forties attended the buffet lunch. I was really amazed to see a lot of young people in their thirties who have just finished their treatment. There was a survivor who is only 32 years old. Looks like more and more young people in their thirties are being diagnosed with breast cancer. And here… I thought at 40 years, I would be one of the youngest!
All of us came dressed informal but in style. In fact I am sure none of the other patrons would have guessed that we are breast cancer survivors.
While we indulged and enjoyed the array of delicious food, we were all eager to pour out our unique experiences, challenges that we faced, diet, the support from loved ones and friends. And finally we all shared and agreed to the fact we have come out of this saga with renewed strength!
There were also members of BCWA who could not join us as they were involved in the Dragon Boat Race held in conjunction with the water carnival at Putrajaya. I am sure the survivors would have displayed sheer strength and power to the spectators there.
Style and Strength… that is us the breast cancer survivors.

NKV, I have not heard the advert on the insurance, but it is good that there is such advert, cos it increase awareness, maybe someone will be reminded to do BSE, and the insurance is great for patients to be more selective about their choice of treatment.
About looking good, no doubt about it cos I think for myself, I am on my way to be able to dress in my 90s kebayas.
