Such is the case of Malabon resident Agnes Ancinue, 38, who has been enduring a cyst in her left buttock for six years now. “This started as a small boil until it gradually grew bigger. I always ask myself how I can have this removed since I am only working as a house helper,” she said, adding that she only brings home P3,000 a month while her husband works as a pedicab driver.
Tulad na lamang ng kalagayan ng residente ng Malabon na si Agnes Ancinue, 38, na mahigit anim na taon nang pasanin ang cyst sa kaliwang bahagi ng puwet. “Nagsimula lamang ito sa maliit na pigsa hanggang sa unti-unti na lamang lumaki. Lagi kong tinatanong sa sarili ko kung kailan ito matatanggal dahil kasambahay lamang ako,” idinagdag niyang kumikita siya ng P3,000 sa isang buwan habang ang kanyang kabiyak ay pumapasada lamang ng pedicab.
