Reality of cancer in the Philippines
REYALIDAD NG KANSER SA PILIPINAS 😔
👉Sina Kaye Abad at Doc Willie Ong ay kapwa piniling magpagamot ng cancer sa Singapore.
At habang para sa marami ay personal o medikal na desisyon ito, ipinapakita rin nito ang isang malaking katotohanan—
napakamahal ng cancer care.
Totoo talaga na kapag pumasok ang cancer sa buhay mo, hindi lang kalusugan ang naaapektuhan. Pati pera, pamilya, trabaho, at mga plano mo sa buhay.
Ang gamutan sa mga bansang tulad ng Singapore ay advanced, mabilis, at kumpleto—pero sobrang mahal . Kahit dito sa Pilipinas, lalo na sa mga pribadong ospital, kayang ubusin ng cancer treatment ang ipon ng isang pamilya.Kahit gaano pa karami ang kabuhayan, masasaid at masasaid ka.
Kaya ang mga may kakayahan, may insurance, o may sapat na pera ay kadalasang pinipiling magpagamot sa abroad para sa mas mabilis at specialized na care.
Pero hindi lahat may ganoong pagkakataon.
Kaya ano ang nangyayari dito sa Pilipinas?
👉May mga government hospitals at cancer centers na nagbibigay ng libre o mas murang gamutan. Ginagabayan din ng mga doktor ang mga pasyente kung saan pupunta, saan hihingi ng tulong,ano ang proseso, at alin ang bagay sa kanilang kondisyon at budget.
👉Pero reality check…
Hindi porket libre ay madali na.
Maghihintay ka. Pipila ka na para bang nagmamakaawa ka at namamalimos para sa libreng gamot at kakaunting halaga para sa gamutan.Kailangan mong i-adjust ang buhay mo ayon sa sistema.
At para sa maraming pamilya, kahit ang “free option” ay sadyang napakahirap pa ring kayanin.
👉Sa kaso ko na nasa isang pribadong ospital kinailangan ko rin gumawa ng mabibigat na desisyon.
Kahit gustuhin ko ang libreng gamutan, hindi ito laging praktikal dahil:
• Kailangan ko pa ring magtrabaho kase solo parent ako
• Ako lang din naman ang umaasikaso sa lahat ng pangangailangan
.....kung kaya Kailangan ko ng agarang gamutan, hindi pwedeng ma-delay para gumaling agad ako so hindi pwede sa public hospital na napakahirap magpagamot.
......sapagkat kahit may sakit hindi tumitigil ang aking responsibilidad .
Kaya nagiging sobrang personal… at mabigat… ang bawat desisyon ko.
👉At ito ang hindi laging nakikita ng mga tao—
Hinahati ng cancer ang realidad sa “may kakayahang magpagamot” at “walang kakayahan.”
At hindi rin maiiwasan na may magsasabi ng: “Marami namang libre, pwede naman doon magpagamot.”
Oo, totoo naman iyon. Malaking tulong ang mga libreng gamutan para sa maraming tao.
Pero ang totoo, magkakaiba ang sitwasyon ng bawat pasyente at bawat pamilya—sa oras, urgency, kakayahan, at responsibilidad.
Pero paano naman ang mga walang kakayahan?
Iyon ang masakit na katotohanan.
Oo nakikita ninyo ang tapang ko bilang isang warrior sa bawat post ko,
Pero hindi nyo nakikita na sa kabila ng mga ngiti, at mga positibo kong pananaw may isang parte rin sakin pagkatao na lubhang nalulungkot at nadidismaya sa reyalidad ng kanser sa ating bansa😔
.... sapagkat isa ako sa nakakaranas ng hirap para laang sa mga libreng gamutan na iyan, para laang madugtungan ang buhay ko at hindi ko maiwang mag isa ang aking mga anak.
Pero kahit ganoon ang realidad…
Nananatili pa rin ang aking pananalig.
Nanatiling tapat ang Diyos. Kahit mahirap, kahit kulang, kahit hindi malinaw ang susunod na hakbang—patuloy pa rin Siyang nagbibigay, sa bawat patak ng aking mga luha habang sya'y aking kinakausap .
Kaya anuman ang sitwasyon mo— gaano man ito kahirap , manatiling nakakapit.
Huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Huwag tumigil sa pananampalataya.
Dahil sa huli, ang cancer ay hindi lang tungkol sa ospital o pera…
Ito ay laban para sa buhay, kahit puno ng takot at walang kasiguraduhan ang bukas. Gaano man kahirap ang ating tinatahak na landas, gaano man kahirap ang ating mga sitwasyon na pinagdaraanan , tuloy pa rin ang ating laban mga ka- warrior.
Dahil ang tunay na Warrior hindi kailanman sumusuko 💪💪💪

“My Life After Losing My Whole Thyroid A Real Testimony”
I never imagined that one day, I would hear the words that would change my life forever thyroid cancer. I was scared. I cried. I asked God, “Why me?” There were so many fears in my heart, so many questions I couldn’t answer.
The day of my surgery came a total thyroidectomy. I tried to be strong, but deep inside, I was terrified. Terrified of the anesthesia, terrified of the pain, terrified of waking up and knowing that a part of me was gone forever.
When I woke up after surgery, everything felt different. My neck hurt, my voice felt weak, and I looked at the scar on my neck with tears in my eyes. I remember silently asking myself, “Will life ever be normal again?”
Healing was not easy.
There were days I felt weak and exhausted. Days when anxiety would suddenly hit me. Days when I would overthink every pain in my body and wonder if everything was okay. There were nights I cried silently because I felt tired physically and emotionally. Sometimes I smiled in front of people, but deep inside, I was still hurting and scared.
Taking medicine every single day became my new normal. Learning to live without a thyroid was something I never expected at my age. It was hard accepting that life changed so suddenly.
But through all the pain, fear, and uncertainty… God never left me.
When I felt like giving up, He gave me strength. When I was crying silently, He comforted my heart. When I felt lost, He reminded me that I was still alive for a reason.
And slowly… I started healing.
I learned that my scar is not something to hide it is proof that I survived. Proof that I fought one of the hardest battles of my life and I’m still here.
Now, I may not be the same person I was before surgery… but maybe that’s okay.
Because this journey made me stronger, softer, more grateful, and closer to God.
If you are going through the same battle, I want you to know this:
You are stronger than you think. Healing takes time. Cry if you need to. Rest when you’re tired. Trust God through the process. One day, you will look back and realize you survived something that once tried to break you.
I lost my thyroid, but I didn’t lose myself.
I survived. I am healing. And I still believe God has a beautiful plan for my life. 🤍🙏

TSH vs T4 vs T3: Understanding Your Thyroid Health
Your thyroid hormones play a major role in controlling energy, metabolism, mood, weight, and even heart rate.
• TSH helps regulate thyroid hormone production
• T4 acts as the stored hormone in the body
• T3 is the active hormone that directly impacts how your body functions
An imbalance in these hormones may lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, hair loss, sweating, cold intolerance, or restlessness. Understanding your thyroid test results can help you take better control of your health and seek timely medical advice.
Always remember: thyroid reports should be interpreted along with symptoms and medical history by a qualified healthcare professional.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENS TO THE BODY DURING GENERAL ANESTHESIA? 😨💉
Especially for people who underwent a thyroid surgery like a total thyroidectomy… 🦋
Many think surgery is just “falling asleep” while doctors operate.
But in reality…
While you are unconscious, an entire medical team is watching over every heartbeat, every breath, and every second of your life. 🥹
General anesthesia is not ordinary sleep.
It is a carefully controlled medical state where powerful medicines temporarily affect the brain, nerves, muscles, and breathing so the surgery can be done safely and painlessly.
Within seconds after anesthesia is given…
🧠 Your brain slowly loses awareness
😴 You become unconscious
💢 You no longer feel pain
🫁 Your breathing is supported and monitored
💓 Your heart rate and oxygen are watched continuously
💤 Your body enters a controlled sleep-like state
During a total thyroidectomy, doctors carefully remove the thyroid gland while monitoring:
✔️ Heart rate
✔️ Oxygen level
✔️ Blood pressure
✔️ Breathing
✔️ Body response to anesthesia
And while you are asleep…
You don’t know how many hours have passed.
You don’t hear the machines.
You don’t feel the operation.
You completely surrender control of your body…
Yet your body keeps fighting to survive. ❤️
Then suddenly…
You wake up.
Maybe your throat feels sore from the breathing tube.
Maybe your neck feels tight and painful.
Maybe your voice sounds weak or different.
And then you realize…
“I made it… I survived.” 🙏🥹
Behind every thyroidectomy scar is a story of fear, courage, prayers, healing, and survival. 🤍
A reminder that even during our weakest moments… we were stronger than we thought.
