The former president is sick

Corazon “Cory” Aquino, the first woman president of the Philippines, has colon cancer. It was a shocking news because colon cancer is the third deadliest form of cancer in the country, and I believe, in some countries too. According to the news, Cory’s mother had a history of colon cancer and died. Her daughter Kris Aquino, a well-talented host and TV personality, should be more cautious because it runs in the mother side.

I am a freak like that and I have searched on Google right after I heard this. Colon cancer also called colorectal or large bowel cancer, includes a mushroom like growths, which may start in the colon, rectum, and appendix. In order to diagnose it, specialized doctors investigate it through colonoscopy

Symptoms may vary and could not detect earlier but the most common are constipation, unexplained loss of weight, and bloody stools. This is why I’m trying to quit eating red meat. As much as possible, I would only eat fish and vegetables, and a little of chicken. My motto in life is health and clean living.

Anyway, I really wish Madam Cory will get soon and will be able to fight this cancer.
