What is the Radiology
Malaysia-Meditel “MyStory:CeritaKu” contest all about?
Radiology Malaysia invites EVERYONE and ANYONE to share their experience
of either going through cancer or living with cancer. You may be a
colleague, friend, relative, boss, subordinate, acquaintance who has
been moved by another person’s brush with cancer. You could even be an
interested observer or just the neighbour. We want to hear your story.
What you share may help someone else cope with or learn about cancer.
“My Story” or
“CeritaKu” includes the caregivers and people around the person with
cancer. They are also affected and may be lost as to how they can help.
The people network can do wonders, hinder proper treatment or may
themselves need help coping! Let us know how it affected you - the
person around or near one dealing with cancer.

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.
