Doctor Willie Ong announced that he has cancer due to a sarcoma that was found behind his heart and spine, on a recorded video in a hospital room on September 14.
It was broadcast on his social media platforms to inform his followers about his medical condition. As per the video taken last August 29, Cardiologist Doc. Willie Ong revealed that he saw a 16 x 13 x 12-centimeter sarcoma or a lump on his stomach that is hidden behind his heart and spine.
In 2023, as Ong started to feel heavy inside, and around April, was the first time that Ong felt the soreness while doing his medical mission. He mentioned that he couldn't bear with the hot temperature, which he disregarded as part of aging.
Moreover, in October 2023, Ong began experiencing back pain, which extended to the upper part of his spine. He felt the most pain in Thoracic Vertebrae (T10), causing him discomfort every time he lay down to sleep.
In the video, Ong stated, "Para siyang kutsilyo na may sumasaksak sa likod mo, hindi mo alam kung anong posisyon sa loob ng 3 days, ang akala ko spasm, o body spasm kasi walang makita sa labas."
Nonetheless, Ong maintained his positive outlook and optimistic attitude amidst his health challenge.
"Nalungkot ako? Nung una. Pero hindi e, masaya ako na basta may purpose pa ang Diyos," he added.
