I have a friend who is sick right now. She has been ill for over a year now and there is no cure in sight. We used to work together until she quit to run for public office in 2010. Her problems started upon her victory. She used to be healthy and very maarte. It's not something to be misconstrued because it is just how she is. But early last year, she had health problems that couldn't be diagnosed. She went from one hospital to another and is now getting chemotherapy. She lost all her hair, lost a lot of weight and is now just a shadow of her former self.
Around October last year, her father's cancer came back. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 but it went into remission after a year. They both alternated getting chemotherapy in St. Luke's until it was said that his father's cancer could no longer be treated. He died last week due to complications.
Last Christmas, her younger brother was admitted to the hospital after a stroke. He was able to recover but is now back in the hospital for kidney problems. And her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year as well.
A lot of people have been talking about their family being cursed or something. My friend was released from the hospital last July when an albularyo supposedly healed her. But because she didn't believe in it, she got worse instead. What makes the story complicated is that they sold a huge tract of land for P30 million. It was supposed to be a family property but her father got all the proceeds. So there really are questions as to the misfortune that is befalling her and her family. Her two brothers are unscathed, though. One is a politician while the other lives abroad. Others presume it must be related to their business or it's a case of jealousy.
I cannot say anything about it other than the fact that it is a very sad state of affairs. They may have money but they are struggling physically. My friend has another lump growing in her lungs again and her chemotherapy treatments are back again. It's just good luck her mother has Alzheimer's otherwise she's be devastated with the loss of her spouse.
I only pray that they'll have the strength to get over this stage in their lives and still have faith in Him up above.
