Senator Meriam Defensor Santiago reveled to public that she has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
“I’m the only senator who, out of boredom, has developed a relationship with a boy toy. But that is not the case, the distinction lies somewhere else.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself to you as the only senator who has been diagnosed with lung cancer as of last week. I have cancer of the left lung, which makes it hard for me to breathe,” Santiago said in front of press people who are expecting political plans in the 2016 presidential election.
Santiago also said she’s even excited that she has cancer.
“I’m very excited. I’m not kidding. [I told myself] Yes! I got cancer. Because now, I’m entering another dimension of my life, that’s my attitude.”
The cancer has reached stage 4, it is not metastatic – which means, it is not spreading.
“This is good news. When they examined my biopsy, they discovered that certain persons like myself who are very, very lucky, have been capable of genetic mutation, maybe from living a healthy lifestyle.”
She said her doctors do not know what caused the cancer and she will undergo 6 weeks of treatment to battle the cancer.
