It's really, a heartbreaker thing to follow up cases like that. She's postive, & the main prob is, she might be pregnant. We all know that Chemotheraphy drugs are very toxic. So if she's pregnant, advisable to terminate her pregnancy. Sigh. They were planning for a child, and dis saddening reality she is gonna face. She was living in denial initially, but later part of the day, weeping away. Her husband, I can see the pain he felt for his wife.
2nd case, A 25 yr old post natal Indonesian lady, after delievered her son for 2 weeks, she realised there's a lump over at her breast. So we sent her for U/S & did core biopsy for her, she's a positive. Like what the hell is happening to us women, I felt the pain. The pain that women are gg through.
Morning was shit, so forget bout it.
After lunch, heavy clinic, first visits, so send many of them for U/S and Mammogram. First few, result : Present of Malignancy. So did Core biopsy, cried. 1, too painful. 2, fearful that it might be cancer. After a whole long day of running clinic, last patient to do Core bx, she was too frightened. She hyperventilate & had seizure for >5 secs. Her pale looking face scared me, I quickly ran to grab the nasal prongs and non debreatheable mask. Sigh. Now u know why I say its so not my day!!!!
