Maritoni Fernandez nagpaalala kontra-breast cancer: Early detection is the key…
HINIKAYAT ng aktres na si Maritoni Fernandez ang mga kababaihan na magpa-check up na sa kanilang dibdib kasabay ng breast cancer awareness month.
Aniya, kahit may banta pa rin ng COVID-19 pandemic, kailangan pa rin ng lahat ng kababaihan na regular na magpasuri para na rin sa kanilang kapanatagan.
Sa Instagram account ng breast cancer survivor, ikinuwento niya ang muling pagpunta sa ospital para sa kanyang routine check-up. Sumailalim siya sa mammogram, sonogram at tomography.
Ipinost din niya ang isang litrato habang isinasagawa ang test.
Aniya sa caption, “I am a 20-year survivor and you’d think I’m used to the drill by now but every check-up still brings with it a flood of emotions.”
Aminado ang aktres na kahit 20 years na ang lumipas matapos maging cancer free, nakakaramdam pa rin siya ng takot sa tuwing nagpapa-check up.
“From being anxious heading to the hospital, especially now that it’s in the midst of the pandemic, to being grateful and relieved when given the two thumbs up by my dear friend and doctor, Dra Barbara Perez of St. Luke’s Breast Center,” aniya pa.
Kasunod nito, pinasalamatan din ni Maritoni ang asawang si Mon Dayrit dahil sa patuloy na suporta at pagmamahal nito sa kanya.
“Today I didn’t have my @leximalvarez1 (anak niyang si Lexi) to go with me as she is far away studying, but the Lord Jesus blessed me with a wonderful husband who drove me, kept me company, and patiently waited while I had all my tests done. Thank you, @mondayrit for being my rock.
“Thank you Jesus for the all-clear. I am deeply grateful. When it boils down to it, you realize nothing truly matters as much as your health.”
Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “October is breast cancer awareness month so go get yourself checked.
“I know it’s COVID and all but don’t delay your check-ups. Set an appointment and go get it done. You can safely go as long as you prepare properly. Nothing matters more than your own peace of mind.
“Remember always that early detection is key to surviving breast cancer,” paalala pa ni Maritoni Fernandez sa mga kababaihan.
