3rd Year Cancer Survivor

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and that will be my 3^rd year as a survivor. Hip Hip Hurray!

Many things have been happening so quickly lately that I just not have time to digest things including having fun...ha...ha!

I am now waiting for my biopsy report which will come out next Wednesday. As I said earlier, a needle biopsy was done on my right breast as they spotted some ducts. Frankly, I have really sick and tired about worry about things.

When I went to have the biopsy done, I met a 80 year old man doing a second biopsy on his breast for confirmation on the existence of lumps in his breast. His 75 year old wife told me that her husband comes from a family with cancer history and she was told that every 1 in 100 men would get breast cancer. I am so used to seeing all ladies waiting for their appointments at the breast clinic and this time around it was a first time for me to have a man among us.

I had pain on my right breast for two days because of the needle biopsy. Well I pray that I am okay and in pink of health.

In the midst of all this, I was in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah over the Chinese New Year holidays. As my new sister-in-law hails from Kota Kinabalu and so her parents hosted a dinner reception on the occasion of the marriage for the newly wedded. My parents and I flew on AirAsia on Friday to Kota Kinabalu and returned on Sunday. By the time we got home, it was almost 12.30 midnight and I had to go to work the next day. We stayed at Marina Court Resort Condominium in the centre of town which was really good and convenient.

The reception was held Shangri-la’s Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa a beautiful hotel and near the sea. It was celebration among family and close friends. Finally they all got to see my brother..ha..ha! Since we did not have much time, our sight seeing was limited to the town but the sea could be seen everywhere.

After all this the newly wedded can finally settle down and move with the married lives!

Yesterday I received an email from my friend forwarding me the youtube version of the condensed version of the “Last Lecture” by Dr Randy Pausch on Oprah. He has pancreatic cancer and has been just give a few months to live. It is inspiring to watch the video and touch on a wonderful message on how to live life and living your dreams. He choose to live an energetic live in these few months and that is overwhelmingly motivating.
