Comedian Gil Aducal Morales, aka Ate Gay, posted a new health update, sharing that the lump on her neck is now almost gone amid her ongoing treatment to battle her stage 4 cancer.
"Wala na akong bukol, konting-konti na lang. Thank you Lord. I love you po," she said in a video she posted on her Instagram page.
In the said post, ate Gay, showed the portion of her neck which is now almost free from lump.
Fans online were quick to react to Ate Gay's post.
"Thank you Lord for healing Ate Gay. Tuluy-tuloy na 'yan ❤️❤️ Stay healthy po!" one fan commented.
"Praise God!!! Tuloy ang laban, Ate Gay! You will be healed in Jesus' name! Amen!" another fan wrote.
Ate Gay first disclosed her condition to the public in an interview with Jessica Soho in September. She recalled initially dismissing the lump as mumps until it grew larger and more alarming.
"Parang beke lang siya noon. Hindi pantay ang mukha ko. Sabi ng mga kasama ko sa work, ‘Hindi pantay ang mukha mo, pa-check mo 'yan.’ Nagpa-ultra sound ako at nagpa-CT scan. After CT scan, magpa-biopsy daw ako," she recounted in the interview.
"Ang findings nung una, benign. Nagpa-second opinion ako. May show ako sa Canada, medyo lumalaki na siya. At saka nagbi-bleed nang nagbi-bleed."
She was eventually diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
In a recent interview with Ogie Diaz, Ate Gay said she found renewed hope as she began treatment with the help of a generous benefactor. According to her, a sponsor shouldered the costs of her chemotherapy and radiation at a top hospital.
"May isang anghel na tumulong sa akin na libre ako doon sa napakamahal na hospital, napakagandang hospital, magagaling na mga doctor," she shared. "Natutuwa ako kasi may pag-asa na ako kasi nagbunga 'yung mga dasal. May isang anghel, nilibre po ako sa chemo, sa radiation para mabuhay po ako. Ang mahal mahal po ng hospital na iyon kaya marami pong salamat."
Ate Gay relayed that the benefactor was connected to Gabay Guro, a non-government organization where she had previously performed.
"Sabi ko sa kaniya gusto ko pa mabuhay. Tapos ang sabi niya na si Lord lang magbibigay sa akin ng mahabang buhay. Doon ako naiyak kasi ang ganda ganda ng puso niya," she relayed.
