MANILA, Philippines — Prayers began flowing in for host-actress Kris Aquino after she revealed new health complications that could put her at major risk for the rest of the year.
Kris was the guest of the February 14 — her 53rd birthday — episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," calling from Los Angeles where she is seeking treatment for autoimmune diseases.

The "Queen of All Media" confirmed she is suffering from a fifth autoimmune disease, has fluctuating blood pressure, and has swollen knees and bones.
The next six months will be crucial for Kris because on February 19, she will try a new biological medicine that could save her heart but may put her at major risk of suffering a cardiac arrest.
Another risk is the new medicine requires the patient needing steroids — which Kris may have side effects from — beforehand to avoid anaphylactic shock and on the medication date, she won't have any immunity and will be prone to more illnesses.
After the episode aired, Kris expressed on social media once more her gratitude to Boy for the opportunity to relay her deteriorating health and asked for more prayers.
