A working mum’s life was thrown a curve ball when she was diagnosed with cancer.
At 37, Tan Chieu Mei had a career in the telecommunication industry but decided to take a step back after getting the unexpected health news.
After her treatment, she took on a less demanding role to focus on her health.
She was also inspired by the book The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim.
“I was too caught up in work prior to cancer.
“I promised to live a fulfilling life once I recovered,” said Tan.
Tan has taken on a less demanding role since her cancer diagnosis to focus on her health.
She was among the cancer survivors who were part of the ongoing Homesoy 3.0 “Stop That Dot” campaign, which aims to encourage early breast cancer detection and raise awareness among Malaysian women.
Homesoy is a soya milk brand under Ace Canning Corporation Sdn Bhd.
At the launch of the campaign in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Ace Canning Corporation Sdn Bhd marketing director Chang Wan Ping emphasised the brand’s commitment to supporting Malaysian women in their fight against breast cancer.
“We are honoured to stand shoulder to shoulder with women in this crucial battle.
“Breast cancer is not just an individual struggle; it resonates throughout families and communities.
“Through the ‘Stop That Dot’ campaign and our #ScanNowSpotEarly initiative, we want to remind every woman that she is not alone.
“Early detection is a powerful tool that can save lives, and we hope this initiative encourages women to take proactive steps to protect their health,” she said.
In addition, Homesoy collaborated with Cancer Research Malaysia (CRMY) to dispel myths surrounding soya and breast cancer, by providing accurate information on nutrition.
“We aim to empower women to make informed decisions that support cancer prevention,” Chang added.
