Former actress Jaymee Joaquin confirms breast cancer recurrence

Former actress-TV host Jaymee Joaquin confirmed that the breast cancer she defeated years ago came back.

In a post on Instagram, Jaymee said that her cancer now "is highly treatable with hormonal therapy and very manageable" compared to the first one.

"I've been mustering the courage and fiding the right words to say what I'm gonna say but I guess there's no easy way to go about this," her caption reads.

"It's confirmed. The cancer has come back.

"I don't want to disclose specific info right now but one thing's for sure, the recurrence was detected super early and medical team are still doing more tests to make sure all bases are covered."

Jaymee's first breast cancer diagnosis was in 2016 but she's in remission since 2017.

"What I have is highly treatable with hormonal therapy and very manageable which means I can live many more years and there's still a lot of HOPE to WIN over this.

"So no pity party pls!"

After leaving the show business, Jaymee now resides in the United States, where she is a budding blogger and model.
