Local actress and former Nominated Member of Parliament Janice Koh has opened up on her battle with tongue cancer in an interview with Vogue Singapore, as she embraces her voice again in the wake of a new chapter and altered speech. The 49-year-old mother of two shared on...
She sought a second opinion after receiving the pathology report from her first surgery, with her second set of doctors recommending a second surgery to make sure the margins were clear.
“So I’m in speech therapy, and that’s been really good in helping me rehabilitate,” she said. “But I’m also very aware that physiologically, there has been permanent change and it’s undeniable. I’m not going to grow a new tongue.” Koh said she has no expectations of going back to work in front of a camera or on stage, and it is something she is slowly letting go of.
Koh, who has been performing for over 30 years, feels like she is making up for lost time as she has always felt like she did not have enough time with her sons, missing birthday dinners and important family occasions.
