Post 10 of 12 | Treatment beyond surgery 🎀

Surgery may be one part of breast cancer treatment, but it is not always the whole plan.

Your care team may also discuss radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy. Each has a different role, and some treatments may be given before surgery while others are given afterwards.

The right combination depends on the details of your cancer and your health.

You can ask your team: “What is each treatment meant to do, and when would I receive it?”

Post 9 of 12 | Understanding breast cancer surgery 🎀

Breast cancer surgery is not the same for everyone.

Depending on the diagnosis, the options may include breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. Your care team may also discuss whether lymph nodes need to be checked.

If mastectomy is recommended, you can ask about reconstruction.Whether to have it at the same time, consider it later, or choose not to have it.

There is no single choice that fits everyone.

Your cancer, your overall health and your priorities all matter. Ask your care team to explain which options are suitable for you and what each would involve.

If you have questions about breast reconstruction, you can contact WPSC at WhatsApp +65 9088 9821 or email: [email protected]. to arrange a consultation. 💗

Post 8 of 12 | Understanding breast cancer types 🎀

Two people may both be told they have breast cancer, yet receive different treatment recommendations.

That’s because the details of each diagnosis matter.

Your report may describe where the cancer began, whether it is in situ or invasive, and the results of tests for ER, PR and HER2.

These findings help your care team understand the cancer and discuss treatment options suited to you.

If the terms on your report feel unfamiliar, you can ask:

“What type of breast cancer do I have?”

“What do my ER, PR and HER2 results mean?”

“How do these results affect my treatment plan?”

You deserve an explanation you understand. 💗

Post 7 of 12 | After a breast cancer diagnosis 🎀

A diagnosis can bring shock, fear, anger, or even relief at finally having an answer.

However you feel is valid.

Your care team will look at the full picture before discussing next steps.

This may include the tumour’s size, whether it has reached nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body, its grade and its biomarkers. These details help guide a treatment plan suited to you.

You do not have to take everything in at once. Consider bringing someone you trust, taking notes, and asking:
“What do we know so far?”
“Are more tests needed?”
“What happens next?”

One step at a time. 💗

Post 6 of 12 | What does an abnormal mammogram mean? 🎀

Being called back after a mammogram can feel frightening. A callback means the team needs a closer look. It is not, by itself, a cancer diagnosis.

You may be asked to return for additional mammogram views or an ultrasound.

Your report may also include a BI-RADS category, which helps describe the finding and guide the next step.

Depending on the result, that could mean routine screening, follow-up imaging or a biopsy.

If you receive a report you don’t understand, ask your doctor or breast imaging team to explain what your result means for you and when your next appointment should be.

Post 4 of 12 | Worried about mammogram costs? 🎀

Cost is a real concern, but there are subsidised breast screening options in Singapore.

What you pay depends on your eligibility and where you go; some eligible Healthy SG enrollees may pay $0 at selected polyclinics.

If you’re due for screening, check your eligibility and ask a participating screening centre about the current fee.

If you’re unsure when to go, speak with your doctor.

And if you’ve noticed a breast change, see a doctor promptly rather than waiting for your next routine mammogram.

Post 3 of 12 | When should you start breast screening? 🎀

In Singapore, women aged 40–49 can speak with their doctor about the benefits and limitations of yearly mammograms.

From age 50, a mammogram every two years is generally recommended for women at average risk.

Your own situation matters. If you notice a breast change, or have a family history or other risk factors, speak with your doctor about what’s right for you—whatever your age.

A mammogram may feel uncomfortable, but the compression lasts only a short time. If you’re due for screening, make an appointment with a screening provider.

Post 2 of 12 | Understanding breast cancer risk 🎀

“No one in my family has had breast cancer, so I’m not at risk.”

It’s an understandable thought, but family history is only one part of the picture. Age and other factors can also affect your risk. Healthy habits matter, but they cannot remove risk entirely.

If you’re unsure when to start screening or whether your personal history calls for an earlier conversation, ask your doctor.

Post 1 of 12 | Breast cancer in Singapore 🎀

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Singapore. Younger women can be affected too.

Yet in 2023, only 34.7% of Singapore women aged 50–69 had gone for a mammogram in the preceding two years. That figure is a reminder to check whether you’re due for screening, not a reason to wait if you’ve noticed a change.

Know what is normal for your body. If you notice something different, see your doctor. If you’re due for a mammogram, make an appointment with a screening provider.
