Overcoming Cancer with Robotic Surgery at Sunway Medical Centre: Ms. Christina’s Story
At 46 years old, Christina, a Klang resident and loving mother, faced an unexpected health scare that would change her life. What started as swelling in her leg and a numb, stiff sensation throughout her body led to a diagnosis that no one wants to hear — a suspected cancer.
“I felt numb all over, like my body wasn’t mine,” Christina recalled. “My daughter insisted we go for a check-up. The doctor told us the shocking news — there was an 80% chance it was cancer.”
But the challenges didn’t stop there. Christina was told that her surgery would require robotic-assisted surgery, a highly specialized and advanced technique. Unfortunately, the hospital she first visited did not have the necessary robotic equipment. That’s when her doctor referred her to Sunway Medical Centre, one of Malaysia’s leading hospitals in advanced surgical care.
“We heard that robotic surgery is a modern and precise way to do operations. So, we decided to go for it.”
Christina’s journey brought her to Sunway Medical Centre, where the team connected her with Dr. Christopher Lee, a consultant surgeon known for his expertise in robotic surgery in Malaysia.
“From the moment I met Dr. Christopher Lee, I felt reassured. He explained everything in detail — what to expect before, during, and after the operation. He really took his time and gave me the confidence I needed.”
Due to her weight, Dr. Lee advised Christina to undergo heart and lung assessments before proceeding with the operation — a standard precaution for safer outcomes. Christina appreciated the thoroughness of the process.
Like many patients facing surgery, Christina admitted she was scared at first. But she chose to focus on hope.
“I told Dr. Christopher, ‘I trust you. When I wake up, I want to be fully recovered.’”
Following her successful robotic cancer surgery, Christina stayed at Sunway Medical Centre, where she received round-the-clock care from a dedicated team of nurses and doctors.
“The nurses were so kind and attentive. Even the doctors checked in regularly. I felt genuinely cared for.”
Now, fully recovered and discharged, Christina feels healthier and more grounded than ever. She continues to sing praises of her doctor and the hospital that gave her a second chance at life.
“Dr. Christopher Lee may be young, but he’s clearly experienced and confident. I trusted him — and I’m glad I did.”
