Days after asking prayers for his health, Willie Revillame thankfully revealed that the polyps found in his body are noncancerous.
Willie, popularly known as Kuya Wil, earlier shared in a live streaming of his show Wowowin that he underwent an executive checkup and his doctors found suspected polyps in his stomach and colon.
“Meron akong stapler,” said Willie explaining why he wasn’t able to dance and sing during the show aired last March 24.
He added, “Nagkaroon ako ng colonoscopy, endoscopy, sa heart, lahat. Hindi naman malungkot kaya lang medo syempre may konting worries. Merong nakita polyps sa ‘kin, dalawa, isa colon at isa sa stomach. Medyo malaki po, one centimeter ‘yung sa stomach at ito po ay — sana ‘wag naman —pero prone ata po ito sa cancer.
“Hinihingi ko lang na sana ipagdasal niyo ako na hindi maging cancer ‘yon para tuloy-tuloy ako sa inyo,” the 61-year-old asked viewers and supporters while waiting for his medical test result.
Wiillie related that he previously had polyps in 2019 but were ruled out to be benign at the time.
“Madalas merong ganoon, natatanggal naman every year. Eh two years ho tayong hindi nagpa-executive check up because of COVID. So, dalawang taon akong hindi na-check, and then merong nakita sa stomach ko,” he said.
On Monday, the Wowowin host revealed his cancer screening test result, sharing the conversation he had with his doctor.
“Sabi niya, ‘O, Willie, kumusta ka? Sobra ka magdasal. Good news, negative ka sa cancer!’ Thank you Lord! Thank you,” exclaimed Willie who admitted that he had sleepless nights and became worried while waiting for the result.
“Maraming-maraming salamat po sa lahat ng mga nagdasal sa akin. Medyo hindi ako nakakatulog ng ilang gabi. Sabi ko nga, I’m ready. If worse comes to worst, ooperahan ako, puputulin yung bituka ko, ready naman ako,” he said.
Willie has advised his viewers to have regular medical checkups to avoid risks of having serious health issues.
“Wala naman akong nararamdaman pero meron pala kong polyps na ganun so advice ko sa inyo na magpa-check up kayo. Nandyan ang ating mga dalubhasa. Tingnan niyo, isipin niyo hindi ko inexpect na gano’n. Wala akong nararamdaman pero meron palang nakadikit sa aking stomach.”
