20-Dec-2010. I went to the emergency unit of TTSH. The doctor that seen me wasn't quite happy that I came through the Emergency unit. He said to me the only reason I came here is because I wanted an earlier Q to see a doctor in TTSH.
Anyway, he lined me up to see Dr Yap Kim Hoong on 6-Jan-2011 even though he wasn't happy with the reason.
06-Jan-2011. I was referred to see Dr. Yap. Dr. Yap is very patient and kind doctor I think. He carefully checked the result of my X-Ray and explained to me that he needed to do a further investigation of my case with CT scan. So he arranged me for a CT scan.
13-Jan-2011. I went through the CT scan. Prior to this I was taking Acetylcyteine EFF 600mg Tab (Flumucil). This a tracer drug.
20-Jan-2011. Revisited Dr Yap for further review. Dr. Yap reviewed the Ct scan and advised me to do a biopsy.
24-Jan-2011. Dr. Yap performed a scope and took a sample from my right lung.
01-Feb-2011. Revisited Dr. Yap. Did a lung function test. Test reviewed my breathing is good. Dr. Yap reviewed that I am suffering from stage 3b lung cancer. I asked how long I could live without going through treatment. He said about 3 to 5 years. He advised me the only treatment is Radiation therapy and chemotherapy as surgical operation is too dangerous. I asked him will it cure my illness. he couldn't give an answer.
