💖 To every patient walking this path: Your heart, your strength, your unique timeline.

We are sharing this incredible wisdom from Colon Cancer Survivor, M Prakash Dass. His perspective speaks straight to the heart of what every patient needs to hear:

"You wish to recover, but accept that what worked for others may not work for you."

This is a profound message of self-love and acceptance. Please know that your healing journey is sacred and belongs only to you. We encourage you to release the burden of comparison. Your courage is immeasurable, and the path you are paving is yours alone.

We see you. We support you. We hold so much hope and love for your unique recovery.

Prostate cancer is the 3rd most common cancer among Malaysian men. The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located below the bladder. It produces fluid that nourishes and protects s***m, playing a key role in male fertility.

This cancer is more prevalent among men, especially those above the age of 50 years, with 67% of cases diagnosed at advanced stages (National Cancer Registry 2017-2021). Regular check-ups and healthier lifestyle choices can make a real difference.

A simple check could save a life. Call 03-2698 7351 or WhatsApp 010-236 7351 to book our special Movember Wellness promotion today (valid until 30 November 2025).

We are grateful for the unity, compassion, and shared purpose that brought everyone together in support of our cause.

According to the Malaysia National Cancer Registry Report 2017–2021, lung cancer is the third most common cancer in Malaysia, with many cases detected at a late stage. Increasing awareness of its risk factors and early symptoms is essential to improving early detection and patient outcomes.

Key risk factors include smoking and second-hand smoke exposure, air pollution, previous lung disease, family history, and exposure to carcinogens such as asbestos, silica, radon gas, and diesel exhaust. Symptoms such as a persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, recurrent infections, and unexplained weight loss should be promptly assessed by a healthcare professional.

This month, we reinforce our commitment to promoting lung cancer awareness and encouraging early medical evaluation. Early detection saves lives.
