Former president Corazon Aquino is to undergo a medical procedure to remove a portion of her colon afflicted with cancer cells, her social secretary Margie Juico said Thursday.
“She has finally agreed to it,†Juico said in a telephone interview.
According to her, the family of the former president has been trying to convince her to undergo the procedure. Juico said the doctors have found that Aquino’s cancer cells were confined to a section of the colon.
“The former president is in high spirits. She's okay,†Juico said.
She said that Aquino has been reporting for work at her office in Makati City despite the chemo treatment to cure her cancer.
“She comes in at 10 [a.m.] and leaves at 5p.m.,†Juico added.
She did not say when or where the operation would be performed.
Earlier on Thursday, Balanga Bishop Socrates Villegas called on Filipinos to join a rosary prayer crusade “for the total cure†of the former president. He issued the appeal in an open letter addressed to the faithful in his diocese, copies of which the Archdiocese of Manila also released to the media.
