'Meds ko habambuhay na': Miles Ocampo shares struggles to be cancer-free
MANILA, Philippines — Actress Miles Ocampo revealed that she had a cancer but is now cancer-free after undergoing thyroid surgery last year.
In her interview with Karen Davila, Miles said she only knew that she had cancer after the surgery.
"'Yung doktor ko sinabi na ito ang situation ko na parang ayaw pa nilang sabihin 'yung cancer sa akin. It was malignant at ang laki na niya. Kung hindi ko po siya naagapan, posible talagang kumalat," Miles said.
"Nalaman kong cancer siya nu'ng after na nu'ng operation," she said.
Miles, however, said that she will take her medicine for the rest of her life.
"Yes, I'm cancer-free. But 'yun na nga maintenance for life. 'Yung meds ko, habambuhay na siya," she said.
"And doon na ako naka-base, kumbaga 'yung weight ko rin. Doon na siya magbi-base kung papayat o tataba. Kasi every two months kailangan kong magpa-blood test para i-check kung i-adjust ba 'yung dosage," she added.
Miles said that she learned a lot out of her experience.
"'Yung mga times na 'yon na parang it's so uncertain, hindi mo alam kung ano ang mga mangyayari, just trust Him. Trust Him, kapit ka lang sa Kanya, talk to Him," she said.
Miles is currently one of the hosts in the noontime show "Eat Bulaga." She recently won Best Actress at the recent Metro Manila Film Festival for the movie "Family of Two." — Video from Karen Davila YouTube channel
