Five days ago – Oct 12 – marked two years to the day of my diagnosis. Even nowjpwinner gaming, I struggle to comprehend all that has happened. How I returned to Singapore to start a new role and decided to get the lump in my breast checked. How the breast lump turned out to be malignant and I was diagnosed with Stage 2A breast cancer.
How I underwent two surgeries, one round of in-vitro fertilisation for embryo freezing, four rounds of chemotherapy and five rounds of radiation, before being put on a five-year adjuvant hormonal treatment.
How during all of that, my husband and I moved into a new home; how I was laid off from my job and found another; how I shaved my hair and saw all the ways in which my body began to change.
How every day since Oct 12jpwinner gaming, 2022, I continue to navigate this liminal space of being a survivor – two whole years of living with the sceptre of this disease.
