When I was diagnosed with lung cancer , the pathologist decided to make a second test of the tissue to ensure the result is correct . As he feel that lung cancer for my age 45+ is too young, as lung cancer normally detected around the age of 60 .
Then, when I meet up with the visiting lung cancer specialist in Singapore, he told me it is true that lung cancer is normally detected about or after 60 years old, but, the sad news is that more younger patient now.
Recently, I notice that most of the new cancer patient I get to know is all between 30 to 50 years old , be it in Malaysia or in USA cancer support forum .
Feel sad of the trend and just wonder what is happening .
Another sad news is that many young lung patient is non smoker, especially lady patient.
Also there is some cases where the patient is between 20 to 30 years old only.
It is time for everyone to seriously look into the matter and take steps to change lifestyle with healthy living , healthly food , less stress , regular exercise and say " TAK NAK " ( " NO " ) to smoking .
It is never too late to make changes to our lifestyle and give opportunity to our body to detox , to recover and regain our health .
Let's start work on it , for yourself , for your family , for your love one , no more delay .
Lord, I pray for your blessing for all of us, please bless us to have wisdom and guide us to live our life the way you want us to live . And guide us to change our lifestyle.
In Jesus name I pray . Amen.

No one's ever believe me when I tell them I'm diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer, as I'm one of them who don't smoke, sleep very early, used to be very active in sport. I just stop sport for 4 years, and I gave birth a year before I got diagnose.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if cancer did not hit me, I think I'm still a workaholic. Therefore, people will never change their live and there will be a lots of excuse.
Fully agreed with you. It is normal for people to reject change , even they know that it is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteBut, do hope that with this posting highlight the matter, can have more people take up their action for change in their life.
