Kris Aquino Will Undergo Chemotherapy Treatment For Her Autoimmune Diseases

On September 7, actress and talk show host Kris Aquino took to Instagram to share an update about her health condition. “I didn’t want to post until I had clarity about my health situation. Maraming salamat po because I know from my ate and friends back home that many still continue to pray that I get better,” she wrote in the caption of her IG photo with her sons Josh and Bimby.

The Queen of All Media revealed that she will need to undergo immunosuppressant therapy for her autoimmune diseases. “[I will] finally start my immunosuppressant therapy. I was warned that [it was] the safest form of chemotherapy (I don’t have cancer) that can be used for my autoimmune conditions,” she shared. “[It] will make me lose my hair. Hair will eventually grow back but permanently damaged organs won’t, so dedma muna sa vanity.”

While Kris has been diagnosed with four autoimmune conditions and hinted at a possible fifth, she continues to express gratitude for the love that she receives from her family and supporters.

“I remind myself [that] kuya and Bimb still need me. And mahiya naman ako sa lahat ng mga patuloy na nagdarasal para gumanda ang kalusugan ko if I just give up!” She quipped.

Her celebrity friends expressed their support for Kris’ recovery.
