In a no-holds-barred exclusive interview with Ricky Lo and with Startalk, Rudy Fernandez and Lorna Tolentino break their silence regarding their present face-off with Ampullary Cancer. Same time last year, the couple happily announced that Daboy was cleared. But now, it is back and so are the hurtful rumors that prompted the family to finally speak up. “Eh kasi pag tinignan mo sa internet, yung mga bali-balita tungkol sa akin, mamatay na daw ako. Sinasabi ko sa kanila, I ain’t gonna die, yet.” Rudy stated forcefully. In the face of’ Daboy’s battle with cancer, the couple and their family attest that they are staying strong. Their younger son Renz says, “nakaka-lungkot talaga pero kung malulungkot lang ako all the time, parang give up na rin kami.” “Rudy is so positive about everything. Kahit na medyo nanghihina siya, after ng chemo niya, for a while lang yun, nilalaban niya yun,” Lorna adds. Daboy has to undergo 12 sessions of chemotherapy. Instead of open surgery, he will also have to go to Tokyo, Japan for a Radio Frequency Ablation or RFA. It is the latest technique that uses high-frequency electrical current to destroy malignant cancer cells. Despite the cloud hanging over the family, Lorna sees a good result. “Bawat araw, bawat oras, bawat minuto lalo naming pinapakita sa isa’t isa yung pagmamahal namin as a family.” And, what is her message to her husband? “Dapat ipagpatuloy niya yung staying positive in life and yung spiritual strength na meron sya ngayon, strength na nakukuha niya sa pamilya, sa Diyos, ipagpatuloy nya. Alam ko malalabanan niya kung ano mang trials hinaharap namin ngayon.”
