Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng revealed in a Facebook post that he is in remission for his nose cancer, and that the tumour in his nose is gone after more than a month of treatment.
Here is what he said
Yesterday, my oncologist Dr Joseph Wee shared good news of my MRI scan and blood test: the tumour in my nose is gone and there is no pick up of Epstein Barr Virus (associated with nose cancer) DNA in my blood.Â
This is the first milestone following my radiation treatment, one of many to come. The next milestone will be a PET scan in Jan 2023, the anniversary of my treatment completion.
As with all doctors, Dr Wee always prepares me for the worst. He cautioned that the cancer might still return any time. Nevertheless, this is still good news.
Last night, we had a nice couple dinner to celebrate the occasion. We had set aside the date earlier. I told Hai Yen that regardless of the results yesterday morning, we would still have a nice dinner together. No matter what, life goes on and we should be happy that we have each other to count on. Enjoy every little moment.
