Brain tumour survivor shares her story of grit and courage

Ng found a new hobby, snorkelling. There is life after finding out about the brain tumour.

I was in Pulau Redang recently with some friends. We went snorkelling and scuba diving, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The underwater world is breathtaking. We saw beautiful corals, colourful fishes, sea cucumbers and turtles. It’s a world without obstacles and discrimination. Scuba diving gave me a new sense of mobility. If anyone had invited me to go diving 15 years ago, I would have thought it was impossible.

I was in the prime of life 15 years ago when I was diagnosed with brain tumour. The tumour was 3.5cm in diameter and it was giving me severe migraines.
