Celebrity Doctor Willie Ong revealed that he was suffering from a rare type of cancer.
In his vlog, Dr. Ong shared the findings of the doctor, saying that he had a 16x13x12 centimeter Sarcoma in his abdomen. Additionally, they also found a tumor behind his heart and T10 Spine.
According to him, the mass found in his body already blocked his esophagus and some parts of his heart.
When asked about the possible cause of his cancer, Dr. Ong said that he possibly got it from reading negative comments from his critics.
“San ko nakuha ‘to? Tingin ko stress, na-stress ako sa mga comments. Na-stress ako sa mga bashers,” he said.
“Na-stress ako kasi hindi tunay lahat ng sinasabi dahil sobra ko kayong mahal. Sobrang mahal ko ang Pilipino. Sobrang mahal ko mga mahihirap tapos sasabihin nila ginagamit ko lang,” he added.
He was currently undergoing chemotherapy in an attempt to prevent the cancer from spreading around his body.
Dr. Ong said he had already lost 50% of his hair and 22 pounds.
In another post, Dr. Willie said he would use his condition to share awareness with the public and even asked the content creators to use it freely.
“If God will grant me a miraculous healing for my huge 16 cm sarcoma, I will spend the rest of my remaining days fighting and lobbying for our poor countrymen,” he said.
He also shared some realizations in life after being diagnosed with cancer.
“Bakit ang mabait, honest at maawain ay mabilis mamatay. Pero ang mga corrupt mahaba ang buhay at malusog? Haha…Bakit kaya?” he asked.
