This is Priscilla. A young and vivaciously courageous soul who recently fought her life's toughest battle and came out victorious.
Priscilla, who is fondly known as Jennifer, had germ cell tumour, a type of ovarian cancer which is common among younger women
On Wednesday, 20 January, she shared her story on Facebook
In her post on Facebook, Priscilla wrote how she "beat the f**cker" and now wishes to share "what are the possibilities" of being struck with "such misfortune" in life, fight the battle and win the war.
At the time of writing this story, Priscilla's Facebook post has gone viral among Singaporeans and Malaysians. So far it has acquired more than 21,000 Likes, has been shared over 6K times and has over 2,350 comments and counting.
According to her doctors, the tumour was the size of a 32 weeks pregnant lady, which Priscilla said she wouldn't mind given she gets to choose instead of experiencing this hell inside her
Before the surgery Priscilla had no idea what was it that was growing inside her. She just knew it was big in size. After the surgery she found out that it was cyst, which weighed about 4.5kg.
The surgery resulted in her tummy flat opened with about 24 centimetre of length. That is almost the length of a long ruler.
Results of the first chemo showing on her head:
"The red dots after my first chemo. People said chemo is very "heaty" and toxic. So this is what it does to my body. Loss of hair and allergies on scalp. I have to constantly drink coconut juice to keep my body cool."
In the end, Priscilla wrote that she has no regrets as feels lucky to be given a second chance in life. "To accept whatever that's given and to forgo whatever that's not mine," she wrote on her Facebook post while thanking her family and friends for being there as her pillars of support throughout her battle with the cancer.
