I did not have any suspicious symptoms. I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for the mammogram.

I did not make any changes to my lifestyle post-diagnosis.

I had undergone lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery), lymphadenectomy (removal of lymph node), and radiation therapy, as my doctor suggested.

I became hopeful once the treatment plans were decided. As of now, I am undergoing hormone therapy.

The treatments had caused side effects like fatigue and weight fluctuations, but I didn’t do anything to manage them.

I didn't make any permanent lifestyle changes post-treatment, although I’m spending less time with my kids after having cancer.

I plan to continue going for holidays overseas. If possible, I would like to go on holiday overseas without my family too.

Throughout my journey, I fear that I may die leaving my two sons without a parent, especially since my husband passed away five years before my diagnosis.

But I focused on the positive, knowing that my cancer was detected early and the tumor was removed successfully. I refused to go down the ‘What if?’ or disaster track of thinking.

Right now, I feel the same as I did before – neutral.

You're stronger than you think. Take each step at a time. Be kind to yourself. Accept all the help and support from family and friends that is offered.
