Ate Gay diagnosed with stage 4 cancer: 'Wala raw lunas'

Ate Gay has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

According to “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho,” the comedian has temporarily stepped away from performing comedy while praying for a miracle.

“Parang beke lang siya noon. Hindi pantay ang mukha ko,” Ate Gay said.

The comedian underwent an ultrasound and a CT scan, which led to a recommendation for a biopsy. The initial findings suggested the mass was benign. However, Ate Gay sought a second opinion.

“May show ako sa Canada, medyo lumalaki na siya. At saka nagbi-bleed nang nagbi-bleed,” Ate Gay said. “Mahirap ngayon ang lagay ko. May kanser ako, stage 4 daw.”

The prognosis indicated that the comedian may not survive past 2026 and that surgery is no longer an option.

“Wala raw lunas. Masakit sa akin. Halos araw-araw umiiyak ako. Hindi naman ako nagkulang kay Lord. Although lagi kong sinasabi na walang himala.”

Ate Gay is seeking help for prayers.

“Kailangan ko po ng dasal. Kailangan ko po ng lakas at sana po makayanan ko ang araw-araw kong buhay sa ngayon.”

In 2021, Ate Gay survived a harrowing battle with pneumonia.
