Actress Denise Laurel is set to undergo surgery to remove a cyst from her breast.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News and other entertainment reporters on Thursday, Laurel said she now has time for the surgery as they have finished taping for the hit afternoon series "The Better Half," which is now down to its last two weeks.
"Now that we have a definite date [for the soap's finale], it will be easier for me. After I rest for like a week, or maybe after the Star Magic Ball, they're just gonna take out the lump. It's a surgery... They are just going to take out the cyst," she said.
According to Laurel, the cyst is benign but she still wants it removed. "Of course at first it was alarming to them because I had a lot. I have in my lymph nodes, my breast, and my ovaries," she shared.
Laurel said she was advised to get enough sleep, which is hard for her given her work as an actress, after surgery.
"They say that sleep is the number one thing that you should do, but my profession requires me to not sleep. So you are torn, you want to do what you love and you are blessed to get paid to do what you love. But then your body... I've been puyat for 21, going 22 years this September," she said.
It was in June last year when Laurel had a cancer scare.
Priority ang career/passion over health(life)?
ReplyDeleteBasa ka muna. Benign cyst naman kasi
Delete12:19 may commitment siya teh. Kailangan matapos ang taping & other commitments bago siya magpa opera. So mag aadjust ang finale ng better half at star magic ball para sa operasyon niya?!
DeleteYung mga health conscious na mga nagkakaron ng mga ganito? What are they taking?
DeletePinoy film industry doesn't have a normal work schedule kasi unlike in other countries (US, UK) where they impose a 10-12 hour a day na schedule.
DeletePinoy shooting or filming almost 24 hours rin, di ba? Hahahaha!
Attend daw muna siya ng Star Magic Ball
ReplyDeleteShe's such a great actress!
ReplyDeleteang galing galing nya sobra hindi sya yung cartoonish na pabebeng kontrabida maiinis ka tlga sa kanya pati yung shift ng facial expressions nya nakakatuwa, fan nya mom ko
ReplyDeleteAgree. Ang hirap ng role niya pero effortless ang acting niya. Bravo to her and Carlo Aquino!
Deleteat magaling mag-english effortless! magaling din mag-deliver in tagalog
DeleteNagkasakit na sya siguro dahil sa role niya sa Better Half. Ako nga na stress tuwing napanood ko, pinapalitan ko ang channel sa sobrang nega ng show nila buti naman tapos na
ReplyDeletekorek! super stressful talaga siya. parang ganyan yata ang peg ng abscbn pag hapon, negaseryes.
Deletedyos ko tigilan na yang mga seryes na nakaka irita, kabitan etc,magpalabas ng wholesome or pangpamilya naman
DeleteGuaranteed always yammy
DeleteTapos na ang the better half? Mababa kasi ang ratings
ReplyDeleteTrue. Lowest ratings siya among teleseryes.
DeleteHuh? Naka-7months nga eh. Normally 3-4months lang takbo ng isang teleserye. Ang flop o pag mababa ang ratings, mahaba na kung maka-2months. Okay ka lang ba te?
Deletenasanay lang yata sya na tulad ng iba pilit ini-stretch maski wala ng patutunguhan ang storya. dragging na masyado. maigi na din na di pilit pahabain para di kung ano-anong ginagawa sa storyline. yung imbis na maganda sana, pumangit kasi pilit pinahaba wala naman na talagang pupuntahan yung storya.
Deleteako nanonood ako nito kapag MWF kase until 3 lang kame sa school at gusto ito ng nanay ko. Beef ko sa soap na ito pinipilit ung JC-Shaina na hello I don't know hindi ba nila napansin na people always root for eternal goody two shoe Carlo Aquino, si Jolina-Marvin nga mas patok pa Jolina/Carlo given the age gap. Magaling si Denise lalo na yung iiyak tapos ihuhug sya the. biglang mag-smirk. Ayan nag rant na ako kase parang walang happy ending si Marco sa story eh puro kasaklapan na lang inabot nya.
DeleteConsidered flop siya after The Greatest Love, which had high ratings and beautiful story. Big disappointment itong the better Half although mataas ang expectations in the beginning
DeleteHahaha 1:31 ako din inis na inis sa show na to. Kahit anong gawin nila kulelat sa ratings. Mas mataas pa ratings ng Pusong Ligaw
DeleteGandara niya dun though, at magaling naman sila. Too bad di nagrate
DeleteKawawain nyo pa si Marco para lalo ako hindi na manood, sobrang puro pasakit na lang inabot nya. Narealized ko dito sa soap na ito hindi leading man material si JC wag na ipilit please. Teamsunset
DeleteGet well soon Denise! Hope you get more projects. Mr. M believes in your talent ever since.
ReplyDeleteBest kontrabida! Pang InternationL ang talent. Sya talaga ang nagdala ng show
ReplyDeleteGet well soon Denise. I really love her as an actress. Sana next project nya primetime naman kahit kontrabida pa din.
ReplyDeleteRest muna Denise. You have a son, so make your health a priority.
ReplyDeleteMagaling siya talaga
ReplyDeleteShe looks like Doutzen Kroes... Get well soon, Denise!
ReplyDeleteDenise is pretty no retoke natural alta pa. Sa Better Half she's the one who excels in acting, along with the best actor Carlo Aquino Hindi pabebe wlang keme totohanan acting in short believable.
ReplyDelete100% agree
DeleteKorek👍 love her and Carlo.Kainis lang yung takbo ng story na pinipilit yung bawal kina Shaina and JC. Naaawa ako kay Carlo.
Deletepatanggal mo na lahat ng bukol mo ang dami na eh bakit pinabayaan mo kumalat dats alarming...take a rest once and for all ur health is more important than money.
ReplyDeleteAng galing niya sa better half. Lalo na sa part na cray-cray siya. Haha. Tawang tawa ako nung naghahabulan sila ng mommy niya sa sementeryo kasi ang galing talaga niya.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, if it weren't for Denise the Better Half would have ended much sooner. She saved the show. Unfortunately, her health was the price. Get well soon, Denise Laurel!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm no mistaken, nasabi ni Shaina na naka 4x naextend ang show. So nagrirate. But I love Denise and Carlo in this show. Galing nila.
ReplyDeleteBasa basa ng Kantar TV ratings pag may time. Consistently low ratings ang The Better Half. Di porke na-extend ibig sabihin hit yung show. It only means they were trying to save a sinking ship. FYI.
DeleteBaks negosyo yan. Siguro naman di sasayangin ng KaF pera nila sa isang show na di naman kumikita. Sa dami ng pwede nilang ipalit kung gugustuhin nila. At mismong ABSCBN ang nagproduce unlike other shows nila na under starcreatives or dreamscape. Isip-isip din.
DeleteExactly 10:21. They chose to keep the show kaysa sa Korean telenovela ang kapalit. Strategy yan because magmukukha silang kawawa against GMA which always has fresh programs.
ReplyDeletegaling ni Denise sa Better Half, get well soon girl
