Breast Cancer - something that people should be aware of.

People, some things are meant to be removed before it starts to devour our body parts..
I should share this with everyone. especially women. (men also can get breast cancer ok.. not just women tau!!)

but putting the images in my blog would be too disturbing for some viewers.
ok maybe i just put one. to give a lil bit of idea what i'm trying to tell you guys.

nahhh i wont do that. its VERY disturbing, believe me.

I've seen few mastectomies where the surgeons only removed the lumps from the breast and never have i actually seen a surgery where they have to remove the whole breast.

Anyway, while watching a hysterectomy, i was called to the induction room and I saw this patient, with a blanket covered til her neck. And I was asked.. "what's this case about?" ........ (how am i suppose to know) therefore i read her profile.. 35, female, written with a very 'doctorish' handwritting.. "Breast Lump".. and I thought its gonna be a typical mastectomy, but when her blanket was pulled.. i was SHOCKED. And my jaw dropped..! thank God the patient was already under anesthetic cuz it would be kinda rude for you to react like that infront of the patient.

The lump.. was as big as.. ok fine i'll just show one picture..

yes people, thats a breast lump, specifically, its breast cancer. (if nak tengok the bloody picture, can ask from me) There are two types of breast lump.. malignant (the cancerous, meaning spreadable, and dangerous one) and the benign (not spreadable, less dangerous)

The first question that popped in my mind was "why did she wait till now to remove the damn lump!!??" so the answer that I got from my dad was.. "bomoh kot.. and it depends on her level of education jugak" ... T_T
and another answer from the surgeon.. "its the feeling of losing ones breast" that makes her hesitate to go for surgery of course..

i say bull****!! if you see your skin is being eaten up, go straight to the hospital la!! not to some bomoh or watever!

There's no exact cause of this unfortunate disease.. except there are predisposing factors, such as not married, not breast feeding, late period, family history and so on.

what i'm trying to convey is.. don't wait til its too late.. In this case, obviously it is kinda too late. But she didnt die..yet. This is a malignant case, if its benign, tak teruk sangat, there's no spreading. But in malignant, you're whole body is at risk! including your lungs and heart.. and brain!!

So if you suspect you MIGHT have breast cancer or abnormal lump, go see the doctor A.S.A.P..!!!

what are you waiting for? you dont wanna end up like this, do you?

Israk Mikraj~

aritu dengar radio kat Kelantan, ustaz tu cakap kalau puasa pada 27 rejab (which is today), pahala puasa tu jadi brape banyak kali ganda tah.. betol ke?

ada banyak khilaf tentang bila kejadian Israk Mikraj ni. ada yang cakap israk mikraj didn't fall on 27th rejab. (for more info, ble rujuk di sini http://www.al-ahkam.net/home/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=90033)

So.. ape hukum kita puasa pada 27 rejab?

Quoted from Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradhawi (obviously after being translated),


"Termasuk di dalam puasa yang diharamkan, iaitu puasa yang direka-reka oleh orang ramai dengan hawa nafsu mereka, yang tidak disyaaritkan oleh Allah dan RasulNya, tidak juga diamalkan oleh para khulafa’ al-Rasyidin, tidak ada juga ulama yang menyeru melakukannya iaitulah puasa pada 27 Rejab dengan menganggap hari tersebut adalah hari berlakunya peristiwa Isra’ dan Mi’raj. "


Mama ajak puasa harini.

"Kaklong, kita niat hanya kerana Allah je.. we cannot judge.. cuz only Allah will decide whether He accepts the amalan or not. "

So, sapa yg puasa harini, niat kerana Allah. jangan pandai2 niat sebab Israk Mikraj je, amalan jadi berkali ganda pahalanye or watever.

Sekian.
