Mammogram

“If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength.” (Proverbs 24:10)

I went for my mammogram yesterday at SGH. Even though I paid as a private patient (cost me $134), the waiting time was still very long. My appointment was 3.50pm and when came to my turn was already 5.30pm.

I was told by the Polyclinic that I no more qualified for subsidised screening programme (which costs only $50) as I am a cancer patient now (regardless of what type of cancer). My gynaecologist is not aware of such discrimination. Don’t understand the logic behind for such policy. To me, it is like saying that they are only interested to save those who never have cancer before, but not the cancer survivors.
