Vicki Belo recently opened up on her breast cancer diagnosis in 2016, revealing how she was actually told at the time that she’s going to die within “two years.”
Speaking to Korina Sanchez for “Korina Interviews,” she related how she sought treatment in Europe and the US, hoping against hope.
“I was diagnosed I think in January of the year then I went to Europe and I was told by them there that I was going to die—’Don’t bother to have chemo, just fix your affairs. You’re dead in two years,'” she shared. “I went to New York but they wouldn’t give me anything so I asked, ‘What are my chances?’ and they were very quiet—’We’ll try our best.'”
Belo believes she won her battle against the Big C because of her daughter Scarlet.
“Kasi I really look at her and I want to be with her. I don’t want to leave her so young, so I kept praying ‘Lord, please give me time,'” Belo said.
She then told fans, “Nakikita niyo yung Instagram, akala niyo yung life namin perfect. Wala talagang perfect na buhay. Lagi niyong hanapin yung ganda sa buhay niyo. Health is wealth, so now that’s really my thing.”
