I realized one of the things that has been agitating me the past few days or weeks is the fear of having br—st cancer. I have it checked once or twice a year, but I always hear or read that even with a regular check-up, sometimes, it couldn’t be detected.

Subjecting myself to a cancer test is like giving birth all over again. I had to get that baby out of my tummy but I was terrified with the thought that something could happen to me, but I had no choice but to give birth.

I paid first, waited for 1 1/2 hours. I knew there would be a long wait so I came prepared with my Ipad and Plants and Zombies.

The 4 women waiting were all pregnant. This girl initially thought I was pregnant too.
Girl- Kailan ang huling mens?
Me— Miss, ultrasound, I pointed at my size 44D endowments.
Girl— ah
I am just glad that their reception counter was high enough to cover my stomach kung hindi she would really conclude that I was there to check my baby’s gender.

When you see hospital beds, get out of the way, baka ikaw ang maisakay, especially if you’re thin, pale and uubo-ubo.

For some reason, I felt self-pity while waiting at the ante-room with this tiny tv

Parang hindi ko gusto ang hitsura nung cabinet nila. I wanted to open to check what’s inside pero baka akala nanakawin ko yung mga gowns eh mabilanggo pa ako.

 

Medyo I was really feeling awa, bago kaya ito? Meron na kayang nagsuot nito na sumalangit na nawa? Naku…

  1. I love plants vs zombies! And early detection is so important for breast cancer. I don’t know what incidence rate is for Filipinas in the Philippines, but you’re doing the best thing possible by going to get checked regularly. Breast cancer can be treated and the success rates are higher the earlier you find it!

  2. woot, thankyou! I finally came to a site where the webmaster knows what they’re talking about. Do you know how many results are in Google when I search.. too many! It’s so annoying having to go from page after page after page, wasting my day away with thousands of people just copying eachother’s articles… bah. Anyway, thankyou very much for the info anyway, much appreciated.
