ALAGANG PAULINIAN: A Story of Hope, Faith and Awareness | Dr. Marlene's Breast Cancer Journey

"For many years, I was the doctor sitting across from my patients... but then one day, I became the patient." For years, Dr. Marlene sat across from patients, explaining diagnoses, guiding treatment plans, and encouraging them to take it "one step, one day at a time." But during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, everything changed when she discovered a lump and heard the words every doctor hopes to never hear: "You have breast cancer." In this moving interview, Dr. Marlene shares her journey from physician to patient—facing the deep uncertainty, fear, and questions that came with her diagnosis. Through the power of prayer, unshakeable faith, and the compassionate, family-like care of the Alagang Paulinian team at St. Paul Hospital of Tuguegarao, Inc., she found the strength to navigate her path toward healing. Her story is an inspiring testimony of hope, resilience, and a vital reminder for women everywhere: never forget to take care of yourself, and prioritize early detection. 🌸 PRIORITIZE YOUR HEALTH TODAY — EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVESDon't wait for symptoms to appear.
