31.08.2009 When to see Dr Juliana at Yishun Polyclinic, who confirmed that there was a lump
on my right breast.
09.10.2009 Appointment was fixed to see a Breast Doctor in SGH (a hospital of my choice). Doctor confirmed the worse, but insisted a mammogram done that very day, follow by ultra sound. Doctor wanted to do a immediate biopsy but realised that the lump is moving and recommended that a Guided Core Biopsy to be done instead. Was told of the worse.
12.10.2009 Guided Core Biopsy was done, with 5 needles aim at the lump. It was the most painful experience. It is like having 5 gun shots into it. Painful and sore for the next one week.
23.10.2009 Met up with Surgeon Yong Wen Sean, who told me exact what I expect of the surgery. Also met up with Counselor Sister Sara who had counseled me the outcome of my surgery and what I will expect in the near future.
03.11.2009 Did Ultrasound to Abdomen to see if it was spread.
05.11.2009 Preadmission Test. 7 procedures and tests to make sure that I am fit to proceed for the surgery.
09.11.2009 Bone Ultrasound to see if it was spread. This test was very interesting. It is like experiencing death as I was put into a machine, exactly like in a coffin.
12.11.2009 Admitted to Hospital for the surgery. Honestly, I am least frighten and was all ready to fight this battle.
21.11.2009 Dr Yong Wen Sean to see that the wound is properly healed and his recommendation of treatment that was needed.
