Kris Aquino on her declining health: 'Hindi ako susuko'

By Izel Abanilla

Queen of All Media Kris Aquino admits she is not in the best of health at the moment due to her autoimmune condition but vowed to continue fighting for her life for the welfare of her sons.

In an Instagram post, the actress uploaded yet again updates about her health through photos, a video and media cards clearly showing her alarming weight drop.

Even then, Kris shared that she still manages to lend help to those in need as a gesture of gratitude for the public's love and support for her family throughout the decades.

She shared that her nurses and her doctors are having difficulties looking for an available vein that could support the IV (intravenous) line because most of her blood channels which are now fragile and weak have already been used.

"Nauubusan na ako ng veins for the IV line, fragile and weak kasi ang mga ugat ko. Whether doctor or nurse, inaabot minsan ng 8 attempts to get the line successfully in," she said.

Very noticeably Kris' hands and arm had bruises from repeated IV line insertions.

Kris however is determined to leave no stone unturned and will do everything to put herself at the peak of health once again.

"Mahaba pa ang laban ko to strengthen my body and heal my broken heart… BUT from childhood I already knew for me weakness could never be an option… especially now that I have Kuya Josh and Bimb who still need me to love, care and provide for them. Para sa dalawang pinakamamahal ko, hindi ako susuko," she added.

She also expressed gratitude to those who truly cared for her by sending cooked food, flowers, balloons, cakes and get-well messages. She also took a slight swipe at those who according to her were never really true to her. Kris however was quick to rebut that her lash was not pertaining to Mel.

In her previous post, she mentioned that she is set to seek treatments abroad very soon. This came along with her revelation that she had already split from now ex-fiance, former Interior and Local Government Secretary Mel Sarmiento mainly because of her health.

The actress also swore to never talk for or about Mel after her breakup reveal post.
