Found Prince Court with SNB

While waiting for my surgery day to come, I spent some time on breast cancer studies online.

I still have some doubt and can't believe that I really have breast cancer. So, I was still thinking if I sould go down Singapore to do second biopsy test. I emailed Prof Dr Yip about some questions, like the accuracy of the biopsy test and a new technology called Sentinel Node Biopsy (SNB). Dr Yip is really a good and responsive doctor. I never seen a doctor that can share her personal info, like HP number with patients. She told me from the ultrasound is very suspicious of cancer, and the fine needle biopsy test is very accurate. She told me that, UMSC does not has the facility to do SNB, and the only one has it in Malaysia is Prince Court Medical Centre. And she also wrote that, "Perhaps you can meet Dr Harjit Kaur if you go there."

So, I end up appearing in Prince Court today. And Dr Harjit also a very kind doctor. She explained things to me clearly, about SNB, did ultrasound again for me on the day. Her schedule is actually full with appointments, but she still meeting me as I told her nurse about the urgency of my case.

I then decided to take the surgery in Prince Court under Dr Harjit. The surgery is to remove the tumor, and together Dr Harjit will do SNB for me, which will then further decide whether to remove the other lymph nodes or not.

The surgery is scheduled on next Tuesday, 18-Jan-2011. But have to admit to hospital on Monday, to do a thorough CT Scan.
