TV host Luis Manzano revealed on Saturday, May 4, that he could now feel relief after finding that he was clear of cancer, following a biopsy.
In his recent vlog, Luis shared the good news with his fans that after consulting a specialist and undergoing several tests, the lump was not cancerous. The celebrity asked for consultations after his stylist found a small lump on his head, which he described as a mole before.
“May kailangan i-biopsy dito sa taas ng ulo ko. Parang ang biopsy kung ‘di ako nagkakamali ay i-check kung cancerous or not or kung malignant or benign,” said Luis.
“Akala ko dati pa, nunal, kaya niloloko ko yung mga tao na matalino ako, may nunal ako dito. Bata pa ako, alam kong may ganyan na ako,” he added.
Narrating his journey doing a series of checkups, the 43-year-old host also explained that aside from wanting to know the causes of his lump, he also aimed to spread awareness.
“But para sa akin ang main goal ko is to create awareness kasi napakarami siyempre ‘yung mga binabantayan na mga nunal growth, kita yan sa mga katawan,” continued Luis.
Luis also shared how anxious he was as he waited for the results of his examinations.
“Ito na ‘yung pinaka-mahirap sa lahat sa lahat—sa lahat ng mga test, minsan ‘yung procedure itself hassle kung hassle given pero ang pinakamabigat diyan ay ang pag-aantay ng results kasi malalaman to kung benign ba to or malignant,” narrated Luis.
“I think five to seven days kapag binigay na ‘yung sample mas hassle ‘yun mas hassle ‘yung ganung stress na ‘yun in fact, ‘yung nakita kanina ‘yung pinost ko kanina sabi ‘yung mga buhok na andon is already a good sign in itself pero ipapadala pa rin to be sure so hoping and praying,” he continued.
Before ending his vlog, he also revealed that he would be undergoing blood test just to make sure about the possible causes of the lump.
“So far it looks okay, pero may kailangan lang idagdag na blood test para makasiguro lang na hindi problema ito. Nothing’s difinitive. Still, tuloy-tuloy ang dasal,” Luis stated.
