Strong family history of malignancy. Protect yourself get check early and regularly. The earlier cancer found, better prognosis

Not a straight answer, TS you need to assess accordingly

Age, pre-existing conditions
Cancer stage and type
If immediate surgery is the option to go then private (money buy time), I learnt pancreatic cancer best it’s still gov (specific specialist)

She's on ribocuclib.
Not sure which subtype, I don't remember.
Already 1 year plus.
Well compared to early time when she was diagnosed, cant even stand properly cause cancer traveled to the back bones, now it is alot better. Enough energy to go holiday oversea by herself.

Need 6K for medicine every month forever? That’s 72K in one year.

Ribociclib, brand name kisqali. Her subtype confirm hormone positive and her2- which is the most common breast cancer. Send her regards from us.

3k ish per month.
Government hospital gave option. You either fork out moonie for medication or do chemotherapy.. which stage 4 weak body you think would survive chemotherapy..

Thank you bro. How's your wife?

Save money, buy min insurance, eat clean

Very unusual and rare occurrence.

Doing OK but stage 4 mbc.. You are gonna be on meds your whole life and the meds the cancer will be resistant so once one line fails you need yo change treatment. It is inevitable

She went to AU to get it done...

yep. doctors already mention that. also hopefully the liver can handle all the meds.
right now every 2 weeks got do bloodtest and follow up.


my sister stage 4 from cant stand and walk properly to now want to exercise cause she feel she ate too much.
Kindly worrying too, she dont actually kawal her food so much now.
Hope your wife would be fine too. you got consider those alternative like hyperthermia?

I asked the robot AI earlier and chemotherapy sounds very painful. Will the vein feel like it’s burning?

No alternative will work once you know how metastatic breast cancer works. If you can, reach out to an oncologist that works with clinical trials and ask if there are any clinical trials your sister can join. These clinical trials will cover her medications and keep her on strict observation but she must meet the criteria to join.

Here are the list of clinical trials ongoing in Malaysia

just go government if youre not loaded.

if they go private, sendiri settle la....

if they go public, can hep then will help la

Dunno if you know this but GH prioritise younger people first. So see your family member condition and decide if PH or GH.

If can wait then GH.

Putrajaya got IKN. but treatment depends on what stage of the cancer. Earlier stage will start faster as to avoid further.

Both my in laws got money so they did at Sunway Medical Velocity for their chemo session. Its not cheap since each treatment depends on what medicine or dose you take. My in laws charge between 4k to 5k per session. Been doing that since 2021.

According to my late dad, it's burning sensation esp at the starting inject point. Gets worse as the dosage increase

The after effect will last a few days as I see him kept sleeping, super weak, very temperamental and brain fog

We even had him doing his own business in a separate toilet because was told residue of chemo from his pee and manure is considered harmful to others

TS, I recommend gahmen hospital based on my experience. The GH nurses were super patient and helpful to my dad esp to keep him calm and not get into a panic attack before seeing the doctor. The doctors were very attentive in their choices of words that kept the situation under control. Private hospital ones on the other end.... Well let's just say they were mercenaries and straight to the point
