On Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho, we learned of Lolo Jesus of Talisay, Camarines Norte, who has been carrying a 10kg-cyst on his back for over 40 years.

He says it only started out as a small lump the size of a calamansi. He went to a health center back then, but nothing really came off it.

Because he doesn’t really have a lot of money, he consulted with a witch doctor, who injected something on his back. Because he can’t afford proper medical assistance, Lolo Jesus aka Tatay Isoy could only trust the witch doctor.

He says it might have something to do with his old job – he used to work in a copra farm, carrying sacks of copra on his back.

According to Dr. Emmanuel Enesio, a general surgeon based in Daet, Lolo Jesus might be afflicted with Sarcoma, an illness wherein tumors grow in the connective tissues common in bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, nerves, and blood vessels on the arms and legs.

Sarcomas are often treated with surgery to remove the tumor. — LA, GMA News
