The 53-year-old music icon underwent heart surgery in May, during which doctors discovered that he has kidney cancer, he told ABS-CBN News' Korina Sanchez in a report aired on "TV Patrol" Friday.
"Gaano katagal pa? Kailan ba matatapos itong lahat?" a devastated Valenciano said when asked about of his reaction to the diagnosis.
Though he did sound more hopeful in a tweet after the report aired, assuring fans that he is "now okay" and told them not to worry.
The report is a preview of Sanchez's "Rated K" program, with the full interview scheduled to be aired Sunday.
The singer first worried fans when he revealed that he had to undergo emergency open heart surgery after his anterior descending artery was found to be blocked due to diabetes.
In the days following the successful operation in May, Valenciano was optimistic in his message to his fans, promising them that "one day soon I will give my all on that stage again."
God Bless you 💕💕
ReplyDeleteomg,this is so sad. get well soon, gary v.
ReplyDeleteAwww! praying for your fast healing Mr Pure Energy.
ReplyDeleteEverybody loves Gary V
DeleteNalungkot ako... 🙏🏻🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteAnong stage na ba? Hopefully puwede pa maagapan sa chemotherapy. Pray for your recovery Gary V.
ReplyDeleteKapag kidney cancer po ata dialysis hindi chemo. Pero not sure po. Praying for his fast recovery also.
DeleteHi 1:24. Sorry but that’s wrong. Dialysis is for kidney failure not cancer.
Delete1:24 Sa kidney failure naman po ang dialysis.
Deletepag ma kidney cancer ka, i chemo ka or radiation therapy.
DeletePwede rin nila i-remove yung kidney via surgery, do chemo and/or radiation. Sana sa US sya magpagamot.
DeleteI thought he’s cleared already? I hope he gets better. I can feel that he’s genuinely a nice person and it breaks my heart to learn about this. I pray through God’s mercy and grace, of your fast healing and recovery.
DeletePraying for his recovery. I just hope hindi mag metastasize.
ReplyDeleteSana gumaling na siya
ReplyDeleteHaayyy ang bigat sa dibdib basahin yung kidney cancer :(
ReplyDeleteBakit kay Gary V pa nangyayare ang lahat ng toh huhu
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, Gary V.
ReplyDeleteGod bless and heal you...
ReplyDeleteNakkalubgkot na balita ito :( Get well soon, God bless
ReplyDeleteWell lahat naman kasi tayo hiram lang tong buhay naten... Darating ang panahon na lilisanin din naten ang mundo
ReplyDeleteThis. I never thought about death until I came face to face with it through my father. His sudden demise left us all crippled. At dun ko lang narealize that our lives are just borrowed. Death is inevitable.
DeleteAww feel better sir Gary!!! :(
ReplyDeletePraying for you Gary V!
ReplyDeleteI like Gary v. Parang ang bait nya. Kahit di ko sya kilala personally. Look at his tweet very positive sya. Take care po Gary v.
ReplyDeleteTrue..very humble pa..sana gumaling siya
DeletePraying for your complete healing Sir Gary 🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteOMG so sad... Diabetes, heart problem and kidney cancer. Lord, please take care of Gary.
ReplyDeleteKapag kasi may diabetes tinitira nun lahat ng internal organs ng diabetic patient. Kaya nagkakakaroon ng komplikasyon. Pangkaraniwang tinitira ng diabetes yung Lungs, heart at kidney. Yung kay Gary nag-umpisa sa diabetes lahat ng mahihinang parte ng internal organs nya magkakakomplikasyon gawa ng diabetes. Kapag yung blood sugar nya e hindi stable yun yung mabilis makasira ng katawan.
DeleteDiabetes does not directly cause cancer though. More on kidney failure ang complication nuon.
DeleteHope ypu get well soon Gary. You are an icon, we dont want to lose you.
ReplyDeleteIf kidney cancer, it can be removed and go through chemo. You can still live with one kidney basta walang problema sa isa.
ReplyDeletekung both po Dok, pano na? teka, Doktor po ba kau?
DeleteAnon 1:47, no, I'm not but I used to work for Urology Dept. and seen patients going this route. If both kidneys, then kidney transplant might be an option.
Delete1:47 kahit di doctor alam yan. Kung parehas kailangan ng transplant.
DeleteI have an uncle who has 1 kidney ok naman siya, mabubuhay ka naman ng matagal. As long as you do the dialysis even at home.
DeleteI work sa hospital where we do IL 2 treatment for renal (kidney) cancer. I've had patients who underwent surgery, chemo and radiation therapy at ngayon nasa past medical history na lang nila ang renal cancer. Meron syang pag-asa.
DeletePraying for your healing mr. Pure energy. This is so sad.
ReplyDeletePag matagal ka ng diabetic, usually, ang tinitira nito in the end, is kidney. Nakaka lungkot...
ReplyDeleteAng diabetes controllable dapat wag na wag kang titikim ng bawal kahit konti. Ang bawal, bawal! Karamihan sa diabetic di makatis dahilan nila konti lang naman. Nag ke crave kasi sila sa mga bawal na pagkain. Kailangan stable yung blood sugar nila pag baba taas yun yung malakas makasira.
Deleteminsan kasi long term use of meds na malalakas nakaka apekto talaga sa Kidney. There are a lot of other factors.
DeleteTrue, one of the many complications of Diabetes is kidney failure. Always keep your blood sugar within normal limits. Diet and exercise are encouraged. And true din na, some medications like Metformin (drug of choice ng diabetes) can damage your kidneys (nephrotoxic) lalo na if long term use. Kaya nga, if you have diabetes, along with your heart, have your kidneys checked din. My mother has kidney complications because of diabetes, diagnosed in 2009. she’s not taking meds for that renal problem. And she’s not on dialysis either. Her creatinine levels are above normal but no too high and as per doctor, she just needs to maintain normal sugar to prevent the progression of nephropathy.
DeleteOh no! Praying for u! Kalungkot! Pinapakinggan ko lang last night ung song na “natutulog ba ang Diyos?” Omg... nakakaiyak! You have a wonderful gift GaryV! Sana pagalingin ka Niya.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your family Mr Pure Energy 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
ReplyDeleteThis is too painful to read. I hope and pray for Mr. Gary V’s complete healing.
ReplyDeleteI think complication to ng diabetes nya
ReplyDeleteMost common n complications ng dm are agn, arf, ckd and worst rcc, which sa case n gary v :(
Di ko gets mga acronyms, baks
Deletepaki explain ng maayos baks.
DeleteDiabetes wont give you cancer whereas cancer (of the pancreas) can cause you to have diabetes. Wag po manakot.
DeleteWow I really hope he recovers🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼He would be a very big loss to the industry!!!! No one can sing and dance like Gary V.!!!!
ReplyDeleteBaka dahil marami siyang iniinom na mga gamot kaya humina yung kidney kaya nagka cancer.
ReplyDeletetotoo din, sir Gary baka gusto nyo po try herbal naman. Masama po sa kidney mga malalakas na gamot.
DeleteCancer is multifactorial, di lang naman gamot ang pwedeng sanhi nuon. Lalo na kailangan nya talaga ng gamot oara sa iba nyang condition. Pwedeng may lahi rin sila ng cancer sa family.
DeleteI think he meant yung meds being nephrotoxic, damaged the kidneys. Then cancer developed because of kidney failure.
DeleteI myself have a kidney failure sir Gary. I am a fan sir!I have been since the 80s. Take me out of the dark" is the one song that gives me hope! I do pray all the time,sir! I don't know if you remember me but I had you signed my back with your signature when you came to Los Angeles at one time.to this day you are my favorite of all time. I guess the good Lord knows what he is doing.we just have to trust in him. I have been for the last 10 years! That's how low I have been waiting for my kidney.so sir,lets l have faith together! You will be ok.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean you’re waiting for your kidney? Are you a candidate for transplant po? 😟 Everything is possible po with Jesus. Keep on praying po and I will pray for you and Mr Gary V po tonight.
DeleteKidney talaga ang naapektuhan if one is on long term medication. 😔
ReplyDeletepahinga muna si sir Gary V. hanggang maka recover. Get well sir.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon po.
ReplyDeleteHAD cancer. Grabe maka sensationalize ng news tong ABS! Parang hindi sariling talent si Gary V! So irresponsible
ReplyDeleteHindi gumagaling ang cancer kahit sabihin pa ng Doctor sau na cancer free ka na. There is no such thing, magigng dormant lang yan at kapag bumagsak immune system mo balik na nman ang cancer mo.
DeleteHala nagalit na nga si Paolo. Grabe nga ang sama naman ng ABS. His own network tapos ginanyan sya para sa ratings.
Deleteyes bumabalik balik
DeleteCould be caused by his maintenance med for diabetes. Boify says ang tass ng mortality rate ng kidney cancer. Huhu. Kapit lang. Idol na idol kita
ReplyDeleteyun din naisip ko kasi dba since nung magets pa sya nadiagnos na din sya forg diabetes at ever since may maintencance na xa..side effect siguro yan...I'm praying for MR. Gary V's recovery soon
DeleteSo sad. :(
ReplyDeleteThe irony of life, he dedicated his life in God’s name and yet he got cancer. Natutulog ba ang diyos? Isa ba itong pag subok? Our God is a loving God, but why inflict pain?? 🤔🤔🤔
ReplyDeleteYour God is a reflection of you 1:22. If you see God's trials as punishment then you have a God who punishes. But if you see God's trials as blessings in disguise, then you have a loving God.
DeleteIt's a matter of perception. 1:22
DeleteKidney Cancer is one of the friendliest cancers. It does not respond to chemo and radiation. Surgery (nephrectomy) is the treatment of choice. He’ll be fine!
ReplyDeleteThat’s good to hear. Hoping he’ll be fine.
DeleteThank you for the info anon 143
DeleteHave faith Gary V. Kayang kaya yan.
ReplyDeletepraying for u. the warrior is a child 🙏🏻
