The theater actor has been found to have a pancreatic tumor last month and will continue to undergo series of lab tests.
Veteran stage actor Bernardo Bernardo appeals to friends and netizens for prayers after being diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor.
He wrote, “Last month, after a series of lab tests (including an ultrasound and CT Scan), my medical specialist friends at the UST hospital, a gastroenterologist and an oncologist, shared their findings: (in layman’s terms) my pancreas is swollen because of a tumor, possibly malignant, growing in the head of the pancreas. As it grows it begins to press on the bile duct and the pancreatic duct and with increasing pressure, the ducts eventually get pinched off.”
Bernado claimed he has lost his appetite and consequently his weight, and he has yet to undergo a lot of lab tests and medical procedures.
He added, “But cameras are kind. They do not capture the very real pain and fear of the unknown, the hidden costs of this medical journey that has put me in Controlled Panic Mode. I know that in order to continue to fight this battle -- I need Courage. I need Strength. I need Clarity of Mind. Which is why, heart to heart, my friends, I hope you will find time to say a little prayer for me.”
