Beyond The Diagnosis #40: An Ignored Breast Lump That Became Breast Cancer

Decades of awareness campaigns have equipped women with the knowledge of how to notice suspicious breast lumps and when to get mammograms done. But what happens when your healthcare workers keep reassuring you that your lump is “nothing to worry about”? Juliet Lau shares how a breast lump she’s had for over a decade became a rare and aggressive cancer, and why she is using this opportunity to also fundraise for the Sarawak Breast Cancer Support Group. We also hear from clinical oncologist Dr Yolanda Augustin. You can support the fundraiser here. Beyond The Diagnosis is a series that goes beyond a medical diagnosis to explore people’s personal experiences, their challenges, as well as the impact of their health condition on their loved ones. Image Credit: Sarawak Breast Cancer Support GroupSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
