The verdict

During this year CNY popo came to sg buloh and she complaint of lower abdominal pain. She thought was just stomach discomfort. She didn't dare take any mandarin oranges during the CNY.

8th of February, popo started to have some bleeding but she didnt tell any of us.

Went to see a GP early March, doctor thought was urinary tract infection, gave popo Ural and Efurox which made her urinate alot till it wet her own bed and the bleeding got more with the medication.

On the Saturday 18th March, popo told mom that she had menses. Uncle Daniel took her to see a doctor. Dr found the growth near popo's lower abdomen.  Mei Sze then suggested to refer her to Pantai Bangsar. Obtained referral letters from the Dr Gayatri in Pudu clinic.  Fixed appointment with the Dr. Eesan (gynea) from Pantai hospital in Bangsar on 20th March at 10.30am for investigation.

On the 20th of March, the verdict came.. it was suspected Ovarian Ca with metastasis to both lungs. The mass in the ovary was measuring 15-20cm. Lung lesions were about 2-3cm.

Since August 2013 popo has been having weight lost at about 1kg/month. Dr Anita that was following up with her did a tumour marker test. CA125 was normal then. Popo's weight went back up a few months later. Nothing was suspicious back then...
