On Friday, we went to Chinatown for aunty Nelly's appointment. We went to her house to find that she's not in. After going around we finally found out that Auntie Nelly went to neighbourhood communities to collect red packet. We waited for the event to end at around 3:15pm and we took her back to get her appointment card. One thing to note here is that her medisave (or something like that) card is going to expire. Told her about it and she was grateful for the reminder. Please remind her about it (blue card expires during Feb and the small piece of paper expires on Jun, I think)

 

We accompanied her to the hospital after that. We finally met the doctor after queuing for two hours (she insisted to see the doctor she meets every time, but he/she is out and that made her a bit sad). The doctor said the cancer cells are progressing slowly, thus is good to remain the same. She just need to take 2 tablets of tamoxifen every morning and there is no need for and surgery (she don't like the idea of cutting it away also).

 

Another thing for us to note is that we should notice if there is water or pus formation on her breast. They might form wet patches on her clothes, or she might be talking about this during our services. We must send her to meet a doctor asap she is in this kind of condition.

 

After collection of medicine and long wait at the taxi stand, we went back and informed her of whatever the doctor said ( she's really curious about it) she offered to give us food and detergent  but we declined the offer. She is really happy we reminded her about this appointment so please note the next appointment date since she might forget about it next time ( 17/5/2013, 3PM).

 

Three things to note for Auntie Nelly:
1) Note if there is any changes in her condition.
2) Note the expiry date of medisave stuff.  
3) Next appointment is on 17th May 2013, 3PM

Lets continue to bring happiness to the elderly everyone! :D
