- A female netizen named Kharla Lacerna Juan who had just had her surgery shared her experience on social media.
- According to her, she found out about a nodule in her breast and discovered that it was increasing in size.
Cancer is one of the most common and deadly illnesses in the country.
As doctors say, it is also a silent killer for the reason that a person who has cancer won’t even feel any kind of symptoms until the cancer cells had begun making their body weak. However, there are also a lot of instances that patients were able to discover it early.
One of the patients who were able to spot a nodule in her chest is Kharla Lacerna Juan.
According to her, few days before class had started, she felt something unusual in her right breast.
Read her story below:
“Must be read !
Ayun hanggang ngayon madami paring nag tatanong sa akin kung anong senyales ng bukol ko sa dede at kung bakit ako na operahan .
Sana makatulong ako kasi madami din palang kagaya kong may ganito
May 22 2017 may bigla nalang akong nakapa sa kanang dede ko maliit sya na bukol akala ko nung una buto lang kasi payat ako, nung pag ka try kong kapain ko kabila kong dede wala namang ganun na bukol so ayun medyo kinakabahan na ako nun dahil sa sobra kong kaba at takot sinabi ko agad to sa mama ko ‘ ma may bukol ako sa dede ‘ nakapa ni mama na medyo maliit nga meron nga kaya kinabahan na si mama.”
At first, Juan said that she thought the nodule was just her bone since she was a bit skinny so she consulted her mother about it. Her mom confirmed that there was indeed something unusual in her breast and decided to have her daughter checked by a doctor.
“May 23 2017 agad kaming nag pa check up ni mama , sinabi ko kay dok na may nakapa ako bigla na bukol then sabi nya ‘ kailangan po i pa ultrasound yan para para malaman na agad kung anong klaseng bukol to.
May 24 2017 ayun pumunta na kmi sa medical Hospital para mag pa ultrasound . Medyo kabado ako ksi habang naka higa ako nkkita ko ung gingawa ng doktor na pag susuri sa dede ko.
Tapos after 5hrs pwede kona mkuha yung result kaya inantay ko nalang yun sa hospital. Makalipas limang oras hawak ko na ung result kinakabahan talaga ako . kailangan kong bumalik kay dok para ipabasa ung naging result ng ultrasound ko.
May 25 2017 pumunta kmi kay dok at pinakita nmn sa knya ung result ng ultrasound ko.
Ang sabi nya may BREAST NODULE sa right ng dede ko Measuring 2.04 x 1.05 cm. Ganyan na ung sukat nya medyo malaki na ung bukol kaya sbi ni dok ipatanggal na ksi solid nga at lumalaki ito so need ko na mag pa opera. Kesa naman pag tumagal baka mas lalong lumaki at dumami.”
After the test conducted on Juan, the doctor saw that their guess was right. She really did has a nodule on her right breast which the doctor recommended to be removed since it was increasing in size.
“Nag pa sched na kmi para sa operasyon . May 30 ung sched sabi pa nila mag pa second opinion daw kami pero wala nang oras e hinahabol ko tlga ung pasukan ayoko malate. Kinabahan nako alam ko naman na di sya ganun kalala kso iniisp ko yung mga gagastusin nmin ung gamot p la tsaka ilang araw nalang magpapasukan na.
Ilang gabi din akong umiiyak at hindi makatulog kasi nga mahina loob ko at medyo may nakakapa pa akong isang bukol bandang gilid ng dede ko dto rin sa right . Di ako mapakali kaka kapa sa bukol nayun tapos parang lumalaki nadin ung isa nag pray lang talaga ako talagang diyos ung lagi kong kausap .”
Juan was worried because breast cancer is no joke, and can be life-threatening if it wasn’t removed as soon as possible so they opted to have the surgery just to be safe.
“May 30 2017 my operation day .
Ayun sobra na akong natatakot kinakabahan as in kung pwede lang sana tumakbo palabas ng Hospital ginawa kona kaso kailangan lumaban.”
“Habang inooperahan gising ako oo gising ako pero hndi ko sya tinitignan habang tinatangal ung bukol pinapalakas loob ako ng mga nurse pati ni dok sbi nya wag kang matakot may anesthesia to onting kirot lang pero alam kong kakayanin mo . Ayun ang bait ni dok kasi habang nag oopera sya kinakausap nya ako pti nung mga nurse nagtatawanan pa nga kmi ksi nga para di ko daw alalahanin na inooperahan ako.
Bad news kasi akala namin isa lang ung bukol ayun pala dalawa at malaki na din ung isa bali 2bukol na ung kailangan kong ipatangal e ung nakita sa ultrasound isa lang naman ayun dagdag nanaman sya da bayaran maiyak iyak tlga ako. ayun tuloy parin ang opera at nrrmdaman ko na parang may hinihila na si dok ayun pla ung bukol na malaki onti nalang daw makkuha na nya.”
Unfortunately, the doctor discovered that there was another one which is also getting bigger.
“After hours ata ayun okey na natanggal na ung bukol ,
‘Heto na ung bukol tignan mo ‘ sabi ni dok , una natatakot akong tignan e . Pero kailangan ksi ittest sya kayaa ayun pinicturan kona.
So eto GIRLS wala talaga akong naramdamang sakit dati nung una palang na may bukol pala ako as in hindi naman sya sumasakit noon wala talaga biglaan lang talaga syang tumubo .
Sa mga nagtatanong kung bakit ako nag kabukol ung mga nakkitang sinyales nya ay.”
Juan shared that she didn’t felt any kind of symptom. It just happened that when she felt her breast, she noticed that there was already a nodule existing in her body.
Now, what could be the reasons as to why she had those nodules?
“Una ung pag matutulog tayo wag tayo mag suot ng bra lalo na ung mga may bakal o kahit nasa bahay lang naman tayo wag na sana tyo mag bra tapos sabi pa stress wag daw masyadong stress at sa kapupuyat daw un nakukuha tpos sa mga street foods . Kaya lahat yan iniiwasan ko na tlga.
Lahat ng yan ginawa ko dati kaya ayan talaga yung nakikita naming senyales . Yun din sabi ni dok
Sabi pa ni dok KAHIT LALAKI DAW AY MAARING MAGKAROON NG BREAST NODULE so boys be aware nadin po.”
The suspected culprits were: wired bras, stress, lack of sleep, and street foods – which Juan had been avoiding since then.
“Ngayon medyo ok na ako kumikirot lang sya minsan at nililinis ung tahi ko ng alcohol . Nakakapsok nadin ako. Salamat pala sa mga Taong nag patatag sakin noon mahal ko kayo lalo na kay God
So shinare ko to para di mag pasikat or what shinare koto kasi alam kong makakatulong po ako sa inyo. Hindi KO IKANAHIHIYA ISHARE TO KUNG ANO MAN ISIPIN NG IBA WALA AKONG PAKI. MAHALAGA NA SHARE KO YUNG NAGING EXPERIENCE KO lalo na sa mga GIRLS at eto ung request ninyo na sana mashare ko sa iba ung mga dapat at di dpat gawen salamat po.
Yung mga pic sa baba ayan po ung mga proof. gobless.”
It was indeed surprising that an eighteen year old like Juan would get nodules out of the blue. It turns out that the unhealthy lifestyle is the main reason as to why the nodule developed in her body.
Shockingly, a lot of netizens commented that they have had the same experience. A lot of them went through an operation and shared how big the nodules were.
Breast cancer is indeed a fearsome illness. Because it doesn’t show a lot of symptoms, it is quite hard to determine if something is going on in a person’s body without his/her knowledge.
In connection with this, people are advised to live as healthy as they can to avoid getting such illnesses and to be able to live a longer life with their family.
