Bagaimana hendak mula cerita anda? Berikut adalah petikan cerita orang lain...




Daripada seorang pengidap kanser
payudara

“Diagnosis kanser payudara pada 1998 menjadikan saya berasa hampa dan terpencil yang seterusnya beransur dengan perasaan cemas.... kesakitan kanser payudara bukan fizikal tetapi lebih melibatkan emosi.” Ranjit Kaur, pesakit kanser payudara.

Ranjit sekarang adalah Presiden Persatuan Kebajikan Kanser Payudara di Malaysia serta Presiden bagi Jaringan
‘Reach to Recovery International Breast Cancer Support Network’.

Daripada seorang suami yang isterinya baru didiagnosis kanser...
“Bagi kali pertama dalam kehidupan saya, saya menangis teresak-esak apabila isteri saya telah didiagnosis dengan kanser payudara pada umur 39 tahun.”

John

Daripada seorang adik perempuan ...
“Saya ingin berkongsi dengan anda semua kepentingan pengetahuan dan kesedaran – dan betapa teruknya kejahilan mengenai kanser di kalangan sesetengah orang. Walaupun kematian ibu dan kakak saya menyebabkan saya menderita, peristiwa itu juga sebuah ‘hadiah istimewa’ bagi diri saya…. Malangnya saya terus jahil mengenai kanser bagi masa bertahun-tahun lagi. Saya tidak tahu bahawa tumor otak ibu saya adalah kanser sekunder manakala kanser payudara menjadi kanser primer sehingga 13 tahun kemudian!”

Tricia Cronin, adik dan anak kepada dua wanita yang menghidapi dan kemudian meninggal akibat kanser payudara. Adegan ini adalah dari pada cerita Tricia semasa dipersembahkan di Persidangan Pertama Reach to Recovery International Breast Cancer Support bagi Asia Pasifik pada Ogos 2002.
 




Daripada seorang pengidap kanser muda yang telah mencuba rawatan alternatif...

“Semasa diagnosis kanser payudara saya, seorang kawan telah memperkenalkan saya kepada rawatan alternatif. Seorang ‘pakar’ herba dari Pulau Pinang melihat rekod perubatan saya dan berkata bahawa herba ini akan ‘mengeluarkan’ kanser saya ini. Mereka mengujarkan saya supaya tidak menjalankan pembedahan. Herba itu berharga RM700-RM800 sebulan dan mereka hanya menerima wang tunai….. rawatan itu sungguh leceh. mahal dan tidak berkesan. Saya berhenti mengambil herba itu. Saya kemudian menjalankan surgeri saya serta melalui kemoterapi dan mendapatinya tidak menakutkan seperti yang disangka. Saya dapat menahan rawatan ini dan rambut saya tumbuh semula!”

Mei Quin,pesakit kanser payudara dan sukarelawan Persatuan Kebajikan Kanser Payudara. Mei Quin dalam lingkungan umur 30an apabila didiagnosis dengan kanser. Beliau juga telah dicalonkan bagi Anugerah Humanis Muda NST-Price Waterhouse pada tahun 2004.

Daripada seorang ibu yang mengidap kanser tahap keempat...
“Saya berjaga-jaga supaya tidak memberitahu keluarga terlalu banyak maklumat kerana saya tidak ingin keluarga saya melayan saya seperti “ Saya mungkin akan mati esok” ! Saya juga menasihati kawan saya supaya tidak melayani kaum kerabat mereka yang menghidap kanser seakan-akan mereka tidak ada harapan bagi masa depan mereka. Mereka yang dihidapi kanser perlu dilayani seperti biasa sebanyak boleh.”

MJ, 52 tahun

 

 

 
Wondering where and how to start? Here are some excerpts of other people’s “stories”


From a mother with advanced cancer…

“I am careful not to say too much to my family as I do not want them to treat me like “I might just die tomorrow”! I also counsel my friends never to treat their relatives with cancer as if they have no more hope. Those with cancer should be treated as normally as possible.”

MJ, 52 years old
 


From the husband of a wife just diagnosed with cancer…

“For the first time in my life, I cried profusely when my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 39 years…”

John
 


Lessons from a caregiver

“Unlike presents, your presence is less straight-forward. To be frank, Ewe Jin and I found some people’s presence uplifting and others’ strength-sapping. Before you visit someone with cancer, ask yourself the purpose of your visit. Don’t go if it is just to reassure yourself that your loved one is all right. In all likelihood, the person may be fighting the disease well but side-effects of therapy are beginning to show – perhaps mouth blisters, scorched skin, a sorethroat and so on. In such a condition, having to reassure visitors is no easy task and really unfair on the patient!” 

This excerpt is taken from Face to Face with Cancer by Soo Ewe Jin & Angeline Lim
 

From a cancer survivor

“A diagnosis of breast cancer in 1998 left me with feelings of despair and isolation, alternating with feelings of panic……… The pain of breast cancer is not physical, but emotional.”

Ranjit Kaur, Breast Cancer Survivor. Ranjit is now President of the Breast Cancer Welfare Association in Malaysia and also the President of Reach to Recovery International Breast Cancer Support Network.
 

From a young cancer survivor who tried alternative therapy…

“At the time of my diagnosis with breast cancer, a friend introduced me to alternative treatment. A so-called “expert herbalist” from Penang saw my medical records, and said the herbs would remove the disease at its roots, and not just superficially. They told me not to go for surgery. The herbs cost me about RM700-RM800 a month, and they would only accept cash….. It was so troublesome, expensive and ineffective. I have stopped taking the herbs. I went for my surgery and then, chemotherapy and it is not as scary as one thinks. It is tolerable and my hair grew back!”

Mei Quin, Breast Cancer Survivor and volunteer with Breast Cancer Welfare Association. Mei Quin was in her 30s when cancer was diagnosed. She was nominated for the NST-Price Waterhouse Young Humanitarian Award in 2004.
 


From a sister who remained ignorant for 13 years…

“What I want to share with you is the importance of knowledge and awareness – and just how incredible ignorance can be. Although the death of my mother and sister has caused me grief, it has also been a wonderful gift of life to me…. Unfortunately, I remained extremely ignorant of cancer for many years to come. I did not find out that the brain tumour my mother had was secondary cancer and that the primary cancer was breast cancer until more than 13 years later!”

Tricia Cronin, sister and daughter to 2 women who succumbed to breast cancer. These snippets are from Tricia’s story as presented at the 1st Asia Pacific Reach to Recovery International Breast Cancer Support Conference in Aug 2002.
