CELEBRITY chef Chef Wan has been diagnosed with lymphoma cancer.
The restaurateur, who is behind De.Wan 1958 and Cafe Chef Wan, revealed the news in a social media post yesterday.
“Just had my ECG test just now. At 3pm, my doctor broke the news (to me) about the biopsy of my lymph nodes after running it twice to make sure of the result they got that I indeed have lymphoma cancer.
“I was then assigned to see my oncologist Dr Jay Suriar immediately who explained all the necessary steps I will need to go through to fight this.
“First thing will be to undergo a pet scan to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of my organ and finally determine what stage it is in," he said.
"The fact that I discovered it, feel normal and not sick and looking at the size, doctor said it's probably at the early stage – if tomorrow pet scan is positive.
"At this stage, the chance to get cured is usually 70 to 80%."
Chef Wan added that he will undergo a bone marrow test on Monday.
“My doctor will also insert a chemo port into me to begin my chemo treatment immediately for 13 weeks,” he wrote.
The TV host stayed positive and even shared some lighthearted remarks about his treatment.
“My doctor said that I will start to lose my hair (omg i can start already imagining myself in different fabulous wigs after this treatment, Elvis, M. Daud Kilau style, Samy Velu, Liberace and many more! It will be so funny kan).”
“At this point, I accept all my challenges with an open heart and great courage. This is life.....you simply need to take things one day at a time and in a positive way.
"I need to be strong and get well as I also need to look after so many people. Insyallah Allah will look after me," he wrote.
Chef Wan ended his post by calling on his fans to not worry.
"We will go through this together so that we can be inspired and help others in the future, too." – The Vibes, August 4, 2023
