“I strongly encourage members of the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation (HKBCF) Breast Cancer Support Centre participate in yoga and singing bowl classes as well as other wellness programmes offered by the HKBCF to enhance and maintain their body and mental wellness. 

Looking back on my journey against breast cancer in 2020, I am grateful for the challenging experience that has made me a stronger, better and more resilient person today. As a yoga and singing bowl coach, I have greatly benefited from the well-being aspects of yoga and sound bath therapy during my post-surgery and post-chemotherapy rehabilitation period. These practices have helped me gradually regain my strength, physical flexibility and mobility, as well as inner peace. 

My breast cancer journey has also guided me towards understanding one of my life purposes - to serve and contribute to the cancer patient and survivor community by sharing my own experiences and passions in yoga and singing bowl therapy and beyond. Let’s shine and cultivate an abundance mindset together!

“In May 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. I am grateful that I am now in my third year of recovery. 

My family doctor told me that recovery is not just about completing all the treatments, but a fresh start. My doctor gave me three recovery tips: support, nutrition, and exercise. From then on, I have been focusing on these three areas to help with my recovery. 

I am thankful for the patient support group of the HKBCF. Every sharing from the fellow patients, registered nurses, and clinical psychologist empowers me to face the challenges. They are my angels. 

I have learnt many dietary tips from my peers, and the postoperative upper limb exercise tips provided by the HKBCF were also helpful for my recovery from a double mastectomy. 

For me, breast cancer has taught me to love myself, slow down, and appreciate the blessings around me. Sisters, let us continue to live a wonderful life!”

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2023, at 78 years old, and the upcoming treatments left me in trepidation. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the HKBCF’s Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and support services! During my cancer treatment journey, I received attentive care from the HKBCF’s TCM practitioner. Through TCM consultations, herbal medicine, and acupuncture treatments, I have successfully alleviated the side effects caused by breast cancer treatment. The care and support provided by the TCM practitioner, nurses, and all service staff gave me immeasurable strength to fight against the breast cancer.”
