So… what happened during the lumpectomy?


PART 3: HE ANSWERS PRAYERS

Well, the lump I had was 3cm in size. Not small at all, especially considering I'm not busty to begin with. But guess what? We discovered that, in spite of the size, there was no spread at all to any other organ or lymph node in my body.

Results of further testing on the cancer post surgery also showed us that the margins of removal were clear. That means that my surgeon managed to remove all cancerous cells even without technology present to double check her work before stitching me up again, unlike what they are able to do in Singapore.

Before surgery, we also prayed hard for there to be no spread so that the next steps would be simple, straight forward and direct. And truly it is as Proverbs 8:29 says – “when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.”

We thank God for His mercy and we are grateful that He marked out the areas for us so no cancer cell could go beyond the lump. This meant that I could go ahead with chemo right away without wasting time, or having to go through another surgery, which would have most likely been a mastectomy.

Truly, He is a God who answers prayers.

I really thank God for leading us to Dr Teh Yew Ching (my Breast Surgeon) through Dr Shaun Khoo Boo Hock (her husband – also a surgeon) via Dr Yeoh Chee Lim (my OBGYN) those many years ago – seven, to be precise – and praise God she turned out to be a super surgeon!

We really didn't have to second-guess anything that was said to us, and there wasn't even a mad scramble to find a good doctor to begin with. I see now that God led us to the very best doctors in their respective specialities to give us the best advice and care possible during crunch time.
