Lilian Tan, a full-time homemaker and part-time wellness coach, had ordered herself a full body health screening as a birthday gift last October, and was hoping to celebrate but an abnormal test result was what came back.
Further checks with a gynaecologist confirmed that she had cervical cancer.
Her first thought? “Eh si buey (will I die from it)? What is the mortality rate like?” shared the 36-year-old. Coming from a “very blunt Hokkien family”, her parents also asked her, “eh si buey?”
“They are very direct, but I know they were just showing concern,” recounted Tan, adding that her family was her strongest support.
“Some of them just couldn’t believe how positive I was!”
But it was that sort of positivity which brought her through the darker times till date.
“It was really a blessing in disguise,” she said.
First stroke of luck — an early detection
2018 and 2019 were the high points of Tan’s health and fitness journey after the birth of her twins in 2016.
