Pan Ling Ling And Her Battle With Breast Cancer

Pan Ling Ling discovered that she had lumps in her left breast when she went for her routine checkup in 2013. In a report from todayonline.com on 16th March 2014, she shared that her doctor warned her about it on 8 March 2013.

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.

She had chemotherapy and radiotherapy as part of her battle with breast cancer. She also had breast reconstruction surgery. Expectedly, she experienced hairfall as part of the side-effects of chemotherapy. Her eyebrows and eyelashes also suffered a similar fate as the hair on her head. She also felt bloated.


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
