It has been so long


I finally thought i should post again. I noticed that my last posting was in Oct 2010and at that time thought of taking a short break. But did not realise that it will be so long.

I am fine and going for my regular check ups and leading life with many daily challenges.

Whenever i tell people i am a breast cancer survivor, i get so many different reaction. Young people just brush it a side as another event in someone's life. Others ask more questions but that is about it. I can see from some of the women's expression that i not need to know about it as it would not happen to me. Well i hope these women are aware that more and more Malaysian women are getting breast cancer and early detection is vital.

A few months ago, visited a breast cancer survivor who had to met with cancer again and passed away. I was really glad that i made every attempt to visit her a week before she died. She was in her midst 30s and had lead active live. She definitely lead the her life to the fullest. She had touched and inspired so many others.

Events like these forces us to take stock of of lives and appreciate what we have.
