LAGI-LAGI TUNGGU

A 30 year old teacher presented with a progressive abdominal distension. It was painless, thus she waited until she could not hide it anymore in her loose outfit (jubah). She just smiled broadly when her colleagues tegur; anak keberapa tu? knowing very well that she was not pregnant.

She came to the gynecologist. This is one of the CT-scan pictures: large ovarian cyst with features of cancer.
















This is the removed specimen; well encapsulated tumour but with features of cancer on CT - Oophrectomy (removal of the ovary) was done by the gynae. I came in the clear the omentum and the appendix; the organs that are usually affected by cancer seedlings.







And now she is waiting for her chemotherapy.








Kalaulah dia datang lebih awal . . . . .malangnya kalau, kalau, . . . . . . . . . . . .kalau !


Mungkin ini dah jadi budaya kita?
seperti yang terjadi padaku siang tadi;
bersesak-sesak bayar saman lalulintas tertunggak
di saat-saat akhir.

ibu saya baru meninggal disebabkan kanser ovari stage 3..pada 25 ramadahan 2011.saya sgt kecewa krn saya melihat ada org yg dah sampai stage 4 tapi boleh diubat..saya merasakn doktor tk buat apa2 melainkan mengurangkan sakit dan menunggu saat2 kematian ibu saya..
saya juga merasakan doktor seolah cuai2 menyebabkab ibu saya perlu menjalani ct scan melebihi 1 kali..yg menyebabkab dia semakin lemah...
