Celebrate Life! Stories from Breast Cancer Survivors and A Caregiver 💕
It's #Pinktober yet again, and we've put together a special pink collection - Celebrate Life! for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
As far as we know, 1 in 13 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. It can happen to anyone, and affect everyone.
This October, we sat down with three breast cancer survivors (Charlene, Siew Lian and Linda) and a family caregiver (Sie Cheong) to hear from them about how breast cancer has impacted their lives.
We had the chance to hear from Sie Cheong, a strong advocate for early detection. He was a family caregiver to his late wife, Eunice, who was diagnosed with final stage breast cancer.
Spend quality time with your loved ones. Appreciate the little things in life. Most importantly, enjoy the things you love doing and be healthy.
And of course, you celebrate life!

EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES, SAVES BREASTS
Life can be so unpredictable. There are some things that might be risk factors for breast cancer, such as age, genetic mutations, family history, eating certain foods or smoking. Or, it could be none of those at all.“People may say, oh you have breast cancer genes, you surely will have it. However, there was zero cancer history in my family.”

Have you ever wondered, how does breast cancer affect the people around?We had the chance to hear from Sie Cheong, a strong advocate for early detection. He was a family caregiver to his late wife, Eunice, who was diagnosed with final stage breast cancer.
“My whole world collapsed. When my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, it affected me alot... until today. We worked very hard, accumulated well, but we forgot to accumulate our health.”
