Yea, it is but.. There were a lot of things going on, in my life and in my mind. I have to rush for internship report, go for body checkup and so for.
I found out that I have some tumors in my breast. but no worries, they are all NON-cancerous tumors still.
I used ''they are'' simply because I do not have just one tumor but I have quite a number which Doctor have given up on counting them. FUNNY BUT TRUE.
How I actually found out?
I think it was about 2 months back when I was enjoying my shower, I can feel there's a lump on my left breast. I was quite worried and curious at the same time. So I decided to tell my mum and discuss with her.
Then about last month I went to a clinic for a simple checkup and the 1st doctor told me that she can feel not 1 but 3 lumps on my left breast. I got tensed up at the moment, I thought I'm gonna die in no time.
She wrote a letter to send me to a specialist for some scanning, because she said it will be much more accurate if I go for scanning.
and yea, I went for the scanning.
first thing the doctor told me : " wow, your have many friends!'' (friends is referring to my tumors)
and she start counting, '' okay, you have 1 here, 2 , 3, 4, 5... 6, 7.. alright I think you have too many and I have lost count...''
Don't you think what she said is very amusing? haha.. but actually I got dumbfounded when she said I have so many tumors.
They are not cancerous tumor. I will be fine. All I need to do now is to practise a very healthy lifestyle and take a lot of great supplement pills :)
To all my girl friends, please do some self-check on your breast and do go for ultrasound scanning at least once a year because some tumors can't be felt from the surface of your breast.
