It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda is once again worried after discovering that he is a stone former, with his kidneys forming crystals once again.
In a one-on-one talk with Ogie Diaz, Vice revealed that he still wants to achieve many things in life. But with time being limited in the human world, he expressed his worries that he will not be able to do the things he wants.
“Madaming kulang! Habang tumatanda ka, nababawasan ka.
“Katulad na lang ng oras para mabuhay. Everyday, you lose a chance to live. So kulang na ako ng isang araw. Meron pa akong hinahanap kasi kulang na naman ako ng isang araw.
“Everyday habang tumatanda ka, humihina ang katawan mo. Unti-unti may iindahin ka, may takot ka na baka magkasakit ng ganito,” voiced the comedian.
Apparently, this concern of his stemmed out during the time when he was working.
“Lately, kalagitnaan ng taping namin, sabi ko wait lang, najijingle ako. Cr ako. So pag-ihi ko, biglang nahinto. Tapos paghinto, sobrang sakit na naiyak na ako. Tapos biglang naihi na naman siya. So parang may nakabara,” narrated Vice.
The pain that the comedian experienced was due to his previous kidney problem back in 2018. Vice was diagnosed with having kidney stones and underwent surgical procedures to remove them.
With this in mind, Vice suspected that there was something wrong with his body. And upon seeking medical attention, it was found out that his kidney is starting to form crystals or stones again.
“So pinatest ko yung urine ko at yun nga, may crystals na naman ako. Nagfoform na naman ako ng crystals at may blood na naman yung urine ko,” said Vice.
Despite the comedian taking care of his body, avoiding salty food, and drinking lots of water, he discovered that he is a “stone former”, meaning, with his history of having kidney stones, there is a huge chance that it will return.
Vice is concerned about his health and is currently undergoing treatment, which makes him physically and emotionally unwell.
“Sabi nila may ganun talaga, stone former, crystal former. Kaya kailangan mong magpacheck ng magpacheck para maagapan, para hindi mamuo.
“So nag-gagamot na naman ako. Physically, I am not okay na naman. Tapos yung takot na naku, ayoko na ulit magkasakit ng bato kasi sobrang sakit nun. Yung ‘pag umatake yung sakit excruciating yung pain.”
Notwithstanding the fear of having his disease recur, Vice is not only trying to be brave but also acknowledges his weaknesses and fears.
“Tinatapangan ko pero may mga times na hindi na, na hindi ko na kaya. Kahit sa Showtime, sinasabi ko sa mga co-host pag nagzozoom meeting kami, sinasabi ko na hindi ko na kaya.
“Hindi lahat kaya ko. And I acknowledge that. Hindi sa lahat ay magaling ako. At hindi sa lahat eh matapang ka. May mga bagay na kinatatakutan ako.
“At yung dahilan kung bat ako natatakot yun din yung nagbibigay sakin ng strength,” Vice bravely said.
Vice Ganda in February 2018 was absent for a week following his surgery to remove the kidney stones.
