Ibu Fitri Yanti from Aceh, Indonesia, was diagnosed with ๐‹๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐š, with cancer spreading to her stomach. After her diagnosis, she began planning to travel to Malaysia for treatment and chose Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital through her local perwakilan, trusting it to be the right place for her care.

Before arriving, she had many questions and concerns. She had heard that chemotherapy could be frightening and did not know much about what it involved. On top of this, she was worried about the language barrier in Malaysia and whether she would be understood.

When she came for her consultation, Dr Rakesh Raman became her pillar of support. He patiently explained the treatment plan, answered all her questions, and reassured her whenever she felt uncertain or afraid. His guidance and encouragement gave Ibu Fitri the confidence to begin her treatment. She was also reassured knowing that our staff could communicate in Indonesian, which made her feel comfortable, understood, and truly cared for.

Ibu Fitri is now undergoing her third chemotherapy session. She continues to find comfort in the care provided by our nurses, customer service team, and Clinical Pastoral Care (CPC) team, and is especially grateful for the additional international patient care support services, such as free airport pickup and daily transport to her accommodation, which make her stay in Penang smoother and more convenient for both her and her family.

In her own words, the hospital provides โ€œ๐ฉ๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ๐š๐ง๐š๐ง ๐›๐š๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌโ€ โ€” truly good care.

As she continues her treatment, Ibu Fitri leaves a message for other patients facing similar challenges:

โ€œ๐‰๐š๐ง๐ ๐š๐ง ๐ญ๐š๐ค๐ฎ๐ญ, ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐š๐ค๐ข๐ง.โ€
โ€œDonโ€™t be afraid. You must have faith.โ€

Her story is a reminder that even in the face of fear, uncertainty, and being far from home, compassionate care, a trusted doctor, and thoughtful support can give courage and hope to anyone battling cancer. ๐ŸŒฟ

Many people believe that Colorectal Cancer cannot be prevented. The truth is, early detection can make a life-saving difference.

Most colorectal cancers begin as small growths called "๐ฉ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ฌ". With regular screening, these can be detected and removed before they develop into cancer.

Awareness and early screening are key steps in protecting your health. ๐Ÿ’™

Every weekday morning, at Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital, they quietly arrive with warm smiles. Youโ€™ll see them making their rounds around the hospital, offering to prepare beverages for patients waiting for their appointments, gently pushing along a little cart we affectionately call the โ€œ๐’•๐™š๐’‚ ๐’•๐™ง๐’๐™ก๐’๐™š๐’š.โ€ They serve on rotation, each with a fixed schedule.

They are the women of the ๐๐ž๐ง๐š๐ง๐  ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐’๐จ๐œ๐ข๐ž๐ญ๐ฒ (๐๐๐‚๐’).

As the name suggests, the Penang Breast Care Society is an NGO support group run by a dedicated team of volunteers, the majority of whom are women and cancer survivors themselves. Some are also non-cancer survivors who generously volunteer their time and hearts to support this meaningful cause.

Having walked the cancer journey themselves, they understand what it feels like to sit in that waiting area โ€” the fear, the uncertainty and the questions you may be too afraid to ask. So they stand beside our patients, not just to serve a drink, but to share their journeys, offer comfort. Their very presence is a powerful reminder to patients: โ€œIf they have made it through, so can you.โ€

This International Womenโ€™s Day, we celebrate these remarkable women whose compassion transforms lived experience into strength for others.

And of course, we must not forget the thorn among the roses. In PBCS, thereโ€™s a gentleman volunteer and cancer survivor who generously gives his time for this service as well ๐ŸŒท

To our PBSC members, thank you for your time, your compassion and your unwavering hearts. You remind us that healing is not only found in treatment rooms, but also in simple acts of kindness.

Happy International Womenโ€™s Day ๐Ÿ’

(Note: Some of our PBCS members are not pictured here, but each of them plays an important role in supporting our patients.)

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it is also highly detectable.

Early stages often show no symptoms.
Thatโ€™s why cancer screening is crucial.

If you are:
โœ” 45 years and above
โœ” Experiencing changes in bowel habits
โœ” Having persistent abdominal discomfort
โœ” Noticing blood in stool

Donโ€™t ignore the signs. Early detection saves lives.

At Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital, we believe awareness leads to prevention and prevention leads to hope. ๐Ÿ’™
