Patient Story
Meet Shirly, a 40-year-old from Manila working in Dubai’s bustling banking sector, living a dynamic life in the city she loves.
When unusual symptoms like excessive discharge and spotting disrupted her life, Shirley faced her health challenges head-on.
She sought answers through multiple MRI scans and biopsies and was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer after comprehensive testing at Aster Hospital, Al Qusais, Dubai.
Now on a path to a cancer-free life, Shirly is returning to the joys she once feared lost.
She advocates for regular checkups, believing firmly that early detection saves lives, and is thankful for a renewed lease on life.
