Thankfully I got my illness diagnosed and discussed my case with the doctor. She told me to get a few diagnostic tests. A few days later I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Since it was not in the advanced stages so I underwent a resection of the stomach surgery.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at later stages, but Dr. Derin made me optimistic. She told me about the chemotherapy sessions. After completing the sessions I feel better and still have a few more years to live.
