00:00It's hard to go to the hospital for a check-up?
00:08What if the hospital itself will go to you?
00:12Introducing Hope MOBI Clinic!
00:14MOBI Clinic is part of a program.
00:17The name of our program is Scrap Cancer.
00:21Scrap Cancer means Screen and Prevent Cancer.
00:24So the Scrap Cancer Program is a screening program,
00:28meaning we want to catch breast cancer while it's still early.
00:35MOBI Clinic will go around the barangay for free consultation against breast cancer.
00:43How can we get it?
00:46According to experts, to avoid breast cancer,
00:49you need TLC.
00:52But it's not tender love and care,
00:55it's touch, look, and check.
01:02Vivian brought free mammograms to MOBI Clinic.
01:06I have a sister who has breast cancer.
01:09She told us that there's something hard inside.
01:13So we told her to go for a check-up.
01:16That's when the breast cancer started.
01:22At the age of 60, Vivian decided to go for a check-up.
01:26To check if I have a problem with my breasts.
01:31Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's soft.
01:35You can't explain what it is.
01:37Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's soft.
01:39It's better to go for a check-up first
01:42rather than waiting for it to get worse.
01:46You have to understand your body.
01:52We'll send this to the breast center in the main hospital.
01:58Then our consultants will read it.
02:04We'll find out Vivian's mammogram results later.
02:11In the past, hospitals can only do mammograms.
02:14At MOBI Clinic, mammograms are now available to residents.
02:19At MOBI Clinic, we have a bus full of mammograms.
02:25A mammogram is an X-ray.
02:27If you do an X-ray of a woman's breast,
02:32you can see lesions or findings.
02:38The findings will tell you that you need to study this
02:42because it could be cancerous.
02:44It's the same process at the hospital, but at MOBI Clinic.
02:48The process is faster because the patients are targeted.
02:51She's the one going to the patient
02:53instead of the patient going to our clinic.
02:58For example, this is the breast.
03:00We'll compress it.
03:01There are four positions.
03:03Left and right, it's facing forward.
03:05Then there are two.
03:06Again, left and right, it's facing sideways.
03:08So there are four positions.
03:10For compression, this is the breast.
03:12It depends on the size of the breast
03:15or how dense the breast is.
03:17Here, you can see the compression rate.
03:19We use more than 10 compression rates.
03:23Or it really depends on the size of the breast.
03:26The whole procedure,
03:28it usually takes three to five minutes to capture.
03:35Here's the image.
03:38At MOBI Clinic,
03:39there are also doctors who will examine the patient.
03:42What's the reason why we're doing a check-up today?
03:47Because we have a small tumor here.
03:52Oh, you have a small tumor?
03:54Yes, just a small one.
03:55It's called a pig sap.
03:57Oh, pig sap.
03:58It's a pig sap that hasn't come out yet.
04:02It's a pig sap.
04:03It's a pig sap that hasn't come out yet.
04:07Okay, ma'am. Let's start.
04:08Where do you think it is?
04:11Is it thick?
04:13Here it is.
04:15Oh, okay.
04:16It just looks like it has a tumor.
04:18But it's painful, right?
04:21Meanwhile, who wouldn't be scared
04:23when they heard about breast cancer?
04:27Aside from life,
04:28when it comes to cancer,
04:30medicine is expensive and difficult.
04:32Everything is there.
04:34That's what I'm afraid of.
04:36And when they say breast,
04:38my lungs are there,
04:41my heart is there,
04:42everything is there inside me.
04:45What am I afraid of?
04:46Of course, you have loved ones in your life.
04:48You don't want them to be left alone.
04:50You don't want to be a burden to them
04:52because if it's cancer, it's expensive.
04:56That's why, for people like Shirley,
04:58early detection is still important.
05:02This time, I didn't say I can't do it,
05:04but I said I can do it.
05:07Whatever, because I'm old.
05:09Even when you're old,
05:10you still want to live longer.
05:12That's why when Shirley found out
05:14that there was a free screening in their barangay
05:16the other day,
05:17she didn't hesitate.
05:21She just told us
05:22that there was a free screening in our barangay.
05:26So I was not really thinking
05:28that I have that
05:29because I don't have symptoms.
05:31I'm still a human being.
05:35Cancer is in their womb.
05:38I have a sister who also
05:40became a breast cancer patient.
05:42She also removed her breast.
05:45Shirley got a mammogram
05:47in a movie clinic
05:48to make sure.
05:50After getting the result,
05:52that's the time when your lungs are there,
05:54your fear is there, everything.
05:57As they say,
05:58it's a calcification.
06:00It's like it's blurry,
06:01you can't see the eyes.
06:03It's like her rank is number four.
06:10When she got the result,
06:11she was immediately sent to the hospital
06:13for the next test.
06:16She was diagnosed with breast cancer.
06:19The ultrasound was mentioned
06:23probably benign.
06:25The word probably
06:26is a question to me.
06:27Probably.
06:29So my doctor told me,
06:30okay, we will go on
06:32based on your mammogram.
06:34Ms. Shirley was one of the first
06:38who was diagnosed
06:40with breast cancer
06:42through our mammogram
06:43in the mobile bus.
06:45We needed or advised
06:47Ma'am Shirley,
06:49we saw breast cancer.
06:51Inside the breast,
06:52actually, what I didn't see
06:53were calcium deposits.
06:55The arrangement of those calcium deposits
06:58in the breast,
06:59she studied that,
07:00she saw that
07:01when the calcification arrangement is like that,
07:04in some women,
07:06that means they have cancer.
07:08She's the first woman
07:09who was diagnosed with breast cancer
07:10through our program.
07:11So for free.
07:14It was good
07:15and the possibility of cancer cells
07:16in Shirley's breast was immediately detected.
07:20Because I'm a naughty person.
07:22I said,
07:23Doctor,
07:24what should we do?
07:25Because it's been a long time.
07:26I felt like,
07:27in my mind,
07:28what am I feeling?
07:29I don't feel before nothing.
07:31But when they said
07:32I have cancer,
07:33I started,
07:34oh, why is it painful?
07:35I have butterflies in my stomach.
07:37Oh, why do I feel like
07:38I have a lump in my breast?
07:39Right?
07:40You have a lump in your breast.
07:43After the mammogram
07:44in the MUBI clinic,
07:46Ms. Shirley joined the biopsy.
07:49Ms. Shirley thanked
07:50MUBI clinic
07:51and immediately saw the lump
07:52in her breast
07:54and was rushed to the hospital
07:55before it came out.
07:57Imagine,
07:58when you're in the hospital,
07:59you have to wait for a queue.
08:01In our clinic,
08:02the processing is really fast.
08:05First,
08:06registration.
08:08After the registration,
08:09vitals.
08:10After the vitals,
08:11okay, go inside
08:12and they do the checking.
08:13After getting out,
08:14okay, you're okay.
08:16Just wait for the result.
08:18It's so fast.
08:19You don't have to think
08:21that you have to wait here
08:22because I still have to pay here.
08:25Meanwhile,
08:26Vivian is also
08:27waiting for the result.
08:29They will check their breasts
08:31in case they feel something
08:33or not.
08:34If they have a lump,
08:36they will be encouraged
08:37to get a checkup.
08:40For me,
08:41they are better
08:42because
08:43first,
08:45I don't know
08:46if there will be a time
08:47when they have to pay
08:48or not.
08:49Because
08:51they don't have to pay,
08:52it's free.
08:56Early detection is key.
08:57That's right.
08:58As early as possible,
08:59get a checkup.
09:01It's so cheap
09:02to get a checkup.
09:03It's so expensive
09:05to get medicine
09:06if the disease is already there.
09:08So,
09:09in countries like ours,
09:11we can't afford
09:13expensive medicine
09:14especially for anti-cancer.
09:16What we do
09:17is
09:18just stop it.
09:20If you stop it
09:21or else
09:22if you catch it early,
09:25you can still get a cure.
09:26And the cure is
09:28not expensive.
09:30A year has passed
09:31since we went around
09:32the MUBI clinic.
09:34They are still
09:35going around
09:36in different places
09:37in Metro Manila
09:38such as
09:39Quezon City,
09:40Makati,
09:41Pasig,
09:42and San Juan.
09:43And,
09:4430 patients
09:45can be screened
09:46in each area.
09:47As of October 2024,
09:49more than 1,000 women
09:51received free consultations.
09:53Six of them
09:54went under the biopsy.
09:56Four of them
09:57underwent surgery
09:58for early treatment.
10:00And three of them
10:01are currently in
10:02neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
10:04These patients
10:05received free treatments
10:07through
10:09private company partnerships.
10:14The repeated reminders
10:15from the experts
10:16are that
10:17breast cancer
10:18should not be feared
10:20because it can be treated.
10:22So remember,
10:23do not be afraid
10:24to go for a consultation.
10:25Especially now
10:26that the specialists
10:27have reached out.
10:28And of course,
10:29don't forget to hit the bell button
10:30for our latest updates.
