Inamin ng dating TV personality na si Cesca Litton na kasalukuyan siyang sumasailalim sa chemotherapy dahil sa breast cancer.
Si Cesca ay dating host ng defunct ABS-CBN TV shows na SNN at E-Live.
Sa kanyang Instagram kahapon, March 30, 2025, ibinahagi ni Cesca na na-diagnose siyang may breast cancer noon lamang nakaraang taon.
Sumailalim daw siya sa mastectomy o pagtanggal ng kanyang dibdib noong Enero, at sinimulan naman niya ang chemotherapy noong Marso.
Pag-anunsiyo niya: “2024 had one last surprise for me. Breast cancer.
“December was a whirlwind of tests and consultations, until the biopsy results confirmed the big C. I don’t think I ever really gave myself time to process,
“I just shifted into ‘act now, feel later’ mode. Mastectomy/reconstruction done in January. Chemo started in March.”
Sa kabila nito, ipinagpatuloy raw ni Cesca ang kanyang buhay sa normal na pamamaraan.
Likas daw kasing matigas ang kanyang ulo.
Aniya: “And yes, this whole time I’ve been working, trying to keep my life and routine as normal as possible, and also, because I can. (Hello, if you’re new here, my name is Cesca and I am extremely hardheaded and stubborn, it’s really endearing once you get used to it.)”
Ayon pa kay Cesca, nais sana niyang itago ang kanyang sakit, ngunit malalaman at malalaman naman din daw ito ng mga tao kapag nagsimula nang malagas ang kanyang buhok
“I wanted to keep this quiet, but there was no point in hiding it anymore once I started losing my hair. (That pixie cut lasted 2 1/2 weeks until my hair started falling out in clumps.
“I decided to just shave it off, I have a wig ready for work purposes, and a growing collection of scarves and turbans.)”
CESCA LITTON: “Early detection is key.”
Nag-post daw si Cesca para magpaabot ng pasasalamat sa kanyang support system kasama na ang mga kamag-anak at kaibigan.
Simula raw nang malaman ng mga ito ang kanyang kondisyon, hindi sila nagdamot ng oras para samahan siya.
Saad niya: “But enough about me. This is really meant to be a tribute to a support system that has gone above and beyond for me despite my best attempts at downplaying what I’m dealing with.
“Not everyone or everything has a photo. My circles have made their presence felt in so many ways and the support has been overwhelming. I wish I could list it all down, but my original caption was way too long.
“Thank you for showing me I don’t have to go through this alone.
“Thank you for praying so hard for me that I can actually feel myself being held up by prayers.
“Thank you to the people who have given me grace and time to do what I need to do.
“Thank you to the ones who respected me enough to leave this as my story to tell, because my story is far from over.”
Marami pa raw mga bagay na gustong gawin at mga lugar na nais bisitahin si Cesca.
Paalala rin niya sa netizens, mas maigi ang magpa-checkup o kumonsulta dahil “early detection is key.”
Pagtatapos niya, “I’ve got things to do, places to see, mountains to climb, and love to give back. God is good. Always.
“PS: Early detection is key. You really never think it could happen to you until it does, so please stay on top of your check-ups.”
Kabilang sa nagpaabot ng dasal sa comments section ng post ni Cesca sina Jackie Forster at Rica Peralejo.
Dalawang beses ikinasal si Cesca sa mister niyang businessman na si Tyke Kalaw — sa pamamagitan ng isang Christian ceremony at isang Catholic wedding — noong 2015.
