Kris Aquino Vows to Keep Fighting, Puts Full Trust in Her Doctors Amid Five-Year Health Battle
Kris Aquino has once again assured her followers that she is not giving up. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, November 11, the Queen of All Media said she continues to place her trust in her medical team while drawing strength from her family, INQUIRER.net reported.
The update came as Kris shared details about the ongoing remodeling of their home in Tarlac. She revealed that the guest house where she is currently staying will be renovated to make it PWD-friendly, after she went through several bathroom accidents caused by losing her balance.
Kris described just how painful her flare-ups can get. “When the rheumatoid arthritis and vasculitis strike, the pain with each step is so harsh that even my formidable pain tolerance crumbles and the tears flow,” she wrote.
Rather than detailing her latest test results, she chose to focus on her resolve. “You don’t need to read about the new developments regarding my health: What’s important is lumalaban ako, buo ang tiwala ko sa team of doctors taking care of me,” she said. She added that her children, her sisters and a very small circle of trusted friends remain firm in their belief in a loving God who listens to sincere prayers.
She also shared a lesson from what she called a “five-year prolonged war.” For Kris, it is okay to cry, and being vulnerable simply means she is still alive and still has genuine feelings. She said some of her most life-threatening autoimmune illnesses will go into remission “because I plan to stay alive.”
Kris has been living with multiple autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma and EGPA, a form of vasculitis, as Interaksyon previously listed. Despite this, she has slowly returned to the public eye, recently appearing for new brand endorsements.
Last month, she reunited with longtime friend and co-host Boy Abunda for a two-part special on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.” During the episode, she said returning to television without him “would not be worth it for me,” GMA News reported.
For her supporters, the message from Tarlac is clear: Kris is still fighting, one painful step at a time.
