荣誉国务资政吴作栋,昨晚(16日)在脸书透露,他的喉腔被验出鳞状细胞,接下来四周内会进行20次放射治疗,以确保所有癌细胞被杀死。

他刚在上月分享,在新加坡综合医院接受了激光手术,去除肾结石。

不过,过去一个月内他多次进出医院,除了移除了肾结石,也为喉腔中的一个结节进行活检组织检查。

不过,检测结果发现有鳞状细胞,所幸进一步扫描显示,颈部和胸腔则没有发现。接下来一个月都要进行放射治疗来杀死癌细胞。

他不忘提醒民众需定期进行预防性的健康检查,例如卫生部的“定期体检,益您一生”(Screen for Life),可提供国人进行健康检查津贴。

任何人若发现喉部肿胀或出现变声现象,需尽快找耳鼻喉医生看诊。尽早发现能提告五年存活率达九成;若癌细胞扩散则存活率降至30巴仙以下。

Just like the weather these days, it never rains but pours for me medically.

I have been going to the hospital…
