Queen of All Media Kris Aquino announced she will go into preventive isolation for six months as she undergoes intensive treatment for multiple autoimmune diseases.
In an Instagram post on Aug. 11, the 54-year-old TV host and actress said her condition has worsened, requiring her to make what she called a “life-or-death” decision.
She will stay in her family’s compound in Tarlac while receiving a combination of daily medication, injections, and an eight-hour infusion of a strong immunosuppressant.
Aquino shared that her recent two-month stay at a private beach property helped her prepare for the treatment.
She also addressed the absence of her eldest son, Joshua, saying he has been “traumatized” by her frail condition and is living with a cousin. Her younger son, Bimby, she said, has been her “heaven’s gift” and constant caregiver.
She thanked her medical teams from Makati Medical Center and St. Luke’s BGC for their care, and appealed to the public to “continue praying” for her recovery.
Last month, Aquino clarified she remains cancer-free but now has nine primary autoimmune diseases, along with related complications.
