Mothering Corner

My mum is a breast cancer patient, but she recovered from it. It was not an easy process for all of us and I was away at university during those years. When I got back home, I would try to help her out with the chores and let her rest as much as possible. But my mum refused to be treated as a patient, she’s really a tough woman, or should I say a survival?

She went through mastectomy, radiation and chemotherapy during those years, but she hardly look like she’s sick. I only cried once, which was the moment we found out about her cancer, but since then, all of us tried to make it through with her. It’s not easy, but we did it. Facing a cancer is not only a personal matter, it involves the whole family to work together and support the patient as much as we can.

I used to do the self examination by myself before I got pregnant. But during my days as a moo, I stopped. It’s confusing if you found a milk ducts or blockage. So, I didn’t examine myself for the past few years. Now, I will have to make it into a habit of examining myself once a month. If you would like to know more about it, check out the video clip.
