Tunay na sakit, ini-reveal na ni Kris
NATANGGAP na ni Kris Aquino ang resulta ng series of medical exams niya sa Singapore, at kaagad niya itong ibinahagi sa publiko para malaman ng lahat kung ano talaga ang lagay ng kalusugan niya, at kung ano ang mga naging dahilan kung bakit biglang bumagsak ang katawan niya.
“You prayed for us regardless of not knowing me personally. I waited for my Singaporean doctor to send my final diagnosis. Now I’m ready to open my heart. I’m sharing our story for you to understand THE PAIN MY FAMILY ENDURED.
“Ang hirap madiskubreng may malaking perang pinaghirapan kitain na ginastos nang walang pahintulot para sa luho ng taong pinagkatiwalaan mo, kahit na milyones na ang kinita niya galing sa ‘yo. Bumagsak po ang katawan ko, in 1 month I lost 15 pounds. I was SCARED, our Mom had unexplained weight loss before her cancer diagnosis.”
At dahil lahat ng sintomas ng Lupus ay mayroon kay Kris, inakala rin niyang iyon ang sakit niya, bagay na ikinatakot ng kanyang buong pamilya.
“That’s why I had my series of blood tests. This is our TRUTH. My initial diagnosis indicated an autoimmune disease. Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and Wendy Williams all raised my awareness.
“To be specific, we were afraid it was lupus. Kuya was anxious & confused. Bimb knew Selena’s journey. It was heartbreaking to see my 11-year old crying inconsolable tears and pleading, ‘please don’t leave me mama’.
“Bimb even offered me his kidney. Ang pera magsipag (lang) ako, kikitain ulit. PERO HINDI PO MABIBILI ANG EXTENSION SA BUHAY. Kaya nagmadali kaming lumipad ng Singapore for me to get the most thorough medical evaluation.
“To be specific, I now know I have Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, and yes, mine is an autoimmune disease. I am now, and for the rest of my existence will be, on high dosage of antihistamines and having the EpiPen will always be crucial. Severe allergies are life threatening because of anaphylactic shock. I disclosed that I started maintenance medication to control my hypertension in 2015; I also have ongoing treatment for severe migraines. You know my life’s journey. Thank you for being with me through the tears and victories.
“I AM PROOF, LOVE MAKES US STRONG. Because we know WHY WE ARE FIGHTING, for me it’s for my health because 2 people I love more than life itself still need me for at least 10 more years. My prayer is simple, to raise my youngest son to become a responsible adult who’ll care for his kuya, then God already blessed me more than I deserve. #laban (October 11, 1954, 64 years ago my mom & dad got married. Heaven timed i’d get my medical answers now for me to remember BEING BRAVE is part of my DNA.).”
Kaya naman abut-abot ang pasasalamat ni Kris sa lahat ng nanalangin para sa kanya.
Isa pang pinasalamatan ni Kris ay ang Chowking family niya na hinintay siya talaga para sa kanyang TVC shoot.
“Thank you @chowkingph for waiting for me. You may like me or not, but you know I speak straight from my heart. Well there are a few chapters of my life I chose not to read aloud. There was someone special who gave up on waiting for me (no, not the good friend posted Sunday night).
“I can admit natakot ako, this TVC shoot was scheduled for Sept 23, because of me they could easily have changed the storyboard. I had blood tests done September 21 because I knew I was physically unwell.
“We had more blood tests September 25. The results prompted us to fly to Singapore on Sept 30. All my tests were done there October 2, it was prayer & will power that inspired me to make this my return project. People you’ll see in this video have been working w/ me on various TVCs for years—my director, DOP, and sound engineer have all taken care of me even before Bimb was born.
“Sa endorsements, nagkakabalikan dahil na miss ang isa’t isa at kahit sinubukang mag-move on, nanghinayang sa pinagsamahan (2 big ones actually, contracts ready for signing this month). Sorry po may slight hugot but I am GRATEFUL for all that’s here & now, and most especially for the people who are worth my love & loyalty.”
