Ultrasound Report

Went for ultrasound this morning at Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre. Dr. Sally Ong referred me to Dato' Dr. Ragupathy (radialogist) and he is so good. He is also friendly and smiled and talked to me the whole time while doing the ultrasound on me.

He found some benign lumps in both my breasts. Actually, the computer says they are benign and should be. But we can never be too sure. To be 100% sure, the only way is to surgically remove them and have a biopsy on them.

But then I am glad the results turn out to be OK.

Lump in my left breast

The little lump on my left breast is now getting harder and more significant. I used to have trouble feeling it there (because it is rather deep inside), but now it is so easy to feel it there.

Dr. Sally Ong just told me today to have it removed asap. But I need to be sure that I am not pregnant and I wouldn't know until sometime next week.

What an irony! Just until yesterday, I was hoping that I will be pregnant. And right now I am hoping not to be pregnant! God must be confused on what I want! :(

Pap smear & Hep B Results

Just gotten my results from the clinic. A big smile on my face :D

OK, be prepared to read medical jargons!

Gynaecological Cytology (Pap smear)
Site: Cervix
Microscopic Appearance: Normal Epithelial cell morphology
Imflammatory Exudate: No evidence of significant leucocyte response
Candida/Trichomonads: Not detected
Micro-Organisms: Normal flora/No significant bacterial presense
Summary: Negative for Intraepithelial lesion or Malignancy

phew...i barely understand anything from above except for the 'No' and 'Not' which puts my heart at ease. Anyway, in conclusion, my Pap smear results turn out to be Normal!

Hepatitis Serology
Hepatitis B Surface antibody - HBsAb 154 IU/L
Evidence of protective immunity to Hepatitis B virus

This Hep B report is shorter and easier to understand. And I am real glad I now have immunity against Hep B virus...AT LAST!

Pap smear & Hepatitis B Vaccine

I went for my first ever Pap smear test @ Koe Clinic. My heart was beating so loudly I am sure the other patients sitting next to me can hear them. The last time I was this nervous was when I was waiting for my SPM results when I was in Secondary 5.

So what is Pap smear or some called it Pap test? A Pap smear is a simple test that screens for cervical cancer. The test involves the collection of cells from the cervix to be examined under a microscope. It is not a diagnostic test, however, and if any abnormalities are discovered, more testing may be needed.

Since Peter & I are planning to start a family soon, I reckon we better check and ensure we are fit before we conceive. So besides Pap smear, I asked Dr. Sally Ong if there are any other tests we may have to do (i.e HIV, STDs tests). She said there is no such need as long as both of us are not in the 'concerned' group. Hmmm....both was staring hard at Peter at that time! :)

So I ended up doing only Pap smear test and had my blood taken for the checking of my Hepatitis B antibody. *prays that this time my body does not reject the antibodies*

Peter ended up taking his 1st jab of his course of Hepatitis B vaccine (3 jabs in total). His 2nd jab will be in a month's time.

My results will only be out next week. Pray for me.

The taste of Anmum powder milk

It was way better than I expected. The taste is not only bearable - but kind of nice-smelling as well. I could not believe it! But I better don't say so too early, as I may have to drink it for the next year or so...and I may start to dislike it in the later months...*touch wood*

Anyway, I like to drink it with super hot water. (luckily, the hot water won't kill off the nutrients of Anmum, unlike honey!) The hotter, the better. So usually, Peter will boil water at night and I will make myself a mug of Anmum milk.

I am really proud of myself. One step nearer to healthier body! ;)

Breakfast Goodness

I saw these oats and grain food and thought it will make a good breakfast meal. Bought them from Cold Storage and I will have them with cold fresh milk every morning.

I can't take real oats, so I need to be contented with these.

Yayar...i know Koko Krunch is not good. But they are leftovers and I will finish them and won't buy them anymore ok?

Aunt Flo visited me today

Aunt Flo came when I was in Peter's training. I was shocked to see a small staint on my shorts. Luckily, Min came with me to the training and she helped me clean my shorts in the restroom.

Now I know that I am not pregnant YET. This boost up my confidence to start making my body healthy before I get pregnant....so that my body is ready to become home to my future bundle of joy.

So every morning, I will eat cereals or muesli bars with fresh milk. And every night, I will drink a glass of Anmum milk before I sleep.
I also want to reduce my intake of carbonated soft drinks and fast food.
I will try to exercise (brisk walking) for at least half an hour 4 days a week.

Anmum Materna - for pregnant women

Mum introduced her friend, Angie to me. Mum told me she should be able to give me plenty of good advice as she is someone who "ate quality, and not quantity".

Angie told me to start drinking Anmum Materna - for pregnant women, even though I am only at the stage of "trying to concieve". This is because Anmum has many nutrients (such as folate/folic asid, calcium & iron) to help make my body strong and healthy.

I listened to her advice and went over to Tesco, but it was out-of-stock. Drove to Sunshine Square and saw it! However, it was in a bigger pack of 900g and it costs RM41.80. (Angie told me it was only RM36 7 mths ago)! Arggh..inflation!



I initially wanted to try a smaller tin as I was unsure if I can consume milk in powder form. It has been more than 15 yrs since i last drank milk in powder form. I usually take fresh milk - cold!

So i bought the original flavour and not chocolate flavour (although i love chocolate) because there are reviews saying that chocolate flavour has cocoa powder which means lesser nutrient contents. I don't know how true it is but whatever is best for my future bundle of joy will be my choice!

Now I am going to get used to not only taking milk in powder form, but to have it hot as well!
Well, for my future bundle of joy, i am going to do it!
