It's been a year since the bad news hit her. 43 year old Pan Ling Ling has since undergone surgery to remove 7 cysts. 6 were discovered to be non-cancerous (benign lumps) and one was malignant.
While she underwent the various medical treatments, she also faced news of her father's failing health in November 2013. Both her father and her soldiered on with their fight with cancer. However, she lost her Dad eventually in 2 February 2014 from lung cancer.
She kept her health condition under wraps as she did not want others to be worried about her and only recently broke the news. She will be on medication for the next 5 years as part of the recovery process.
"We need to be optimistic. Having a terminal illness doesn’t mean that we are on a road of no return,” she said. “We still can lead a healthy and fulfilling life.” - Pan Ling Ling
