Standup comedian Ate Gay gave an update on his battle with mucoepidermoid carcinoma, a rare type of cancer, after undergoing chemotherapy.
On his Facebook account, the comedian posted a video sharing that his tumor had shrunk in three days from 10 centimeters to 8.5.
“Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat na nanalangin ng aking anggarang paggaling.. patuloy lang po,” Ate Gay said giving thanks, and in another post said, “Ang swerte ko sa Anghel ko .. madami nag aalaga sa akin.. nag chemo at chemo radiation ako kanina. Salamat sa patuloy na panalangin.”
Ate Gay announced weeks ago that he was diagnosed with Stage IV mucoepidermoid squamous cell carcinoma and thanked generous sponsors who made it possible for him to seek treatment.
“‘Di ko man ma-replyan taos puso akong nagpapasalamat sa sobrang dami… patuloy lang po ang panalangin,” Ate Gay said at the time.
He also shared finding a place to stay in Alabang near the hospital, also provided by one of her generous fans.
