Former President Aquino sick

I don't know what it is about but I've been hearing more and more news on people getting sick with cancer. Is it because they are better at the diagnosis that they actually KNOW it's cancer or is it because there's something in our modern environment/equipment/household utilities that is triggering more and more of such illness? Within my family, there are a couple of cancer stricken members. It's a very sad news to hear, especially knowing that there's no available treatment for it - at least not for the uber wealthy. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Colon cancer's a rather tough kind. I feel sorry for the former president. I admire her and the ideals which she carries. Now that she is not well, I believe that we should pray for her complete recovery, and pray too that our nation will unite at her back in support to her. She's an inspirational leader. Not at her limelight, it's time to carry on the inspiration we received from her.

i wasnt aware she was ill, i will keep her in my thoughts, she is a good person blessed be

I heard about this too. I was shocked at first hearing that it was rather serious. I guess news like this always surprises us. i have always seen how energetic she was and having such sickness is actually far from reality... But it happened. I guess we can all just pray for her recovery and for her to have a long life and get through this challenge in her life.

I also felt sad about it Yesterday I watch Nonoy and Cris making announcement about their sick mother and asking to stop telling bad things about their mother. Yes they are well afforded the medicine but the emotional pains is very hard to ease. I know how they feel I'm also a daughter but as I can see their mother she is strong enough to over come all this trial. She is a strong lady she will going to fight for it. She is also giving this all to our God up high. Enjoy posting!!!!!

I am also shocked and saddened when I learned the news on TV. Former President Aquino is the symbol of democracy in our country and honestly part of what the Filipinos' democracy now is because of what she did during the 1986 EDSA Revolution. I agree that they would not have a problem financially but emotions wise that would be difficult for them. But knowing Pres. Cory Aquino, she has strong faith in God, and quoting her from ABS-CBN news website 'Everything is according to God's will' .

I was on the verge of crying yesterday listening to Kris' statement because my grandmother had just suffered from stroke so I know how emotionally draining to have a sick mom or grandmom. MOney is not a problem for them but it was really unfortunate that Kris lost her third child though I am not sure if it was because the former president's condition.

As I have watched her in TV, as they went to church with kris, she seems not troubled of this diagnosis, maybe she just kept the hurt inside her for the benefits of the public who trusted her and image her as the country's former mother. Lets just hope and pray that her family, especially Madam Cory, to get over this kind predicament.

i was shocked by your post. i didn't know that she was this serious sick. you're right.. they could well afford the medicines financially but the pain of going through something like this.. is just.. unimaginable.. my heart goes out to you and to her..
