Based on a report from PEP, Gary Valenciano revealed some statements about his condition after his show at the Cloverleaf Mall in Balintawak, Quezon City.

The 53-year-old artist disclosed that he had an open heart surgery in May and had a kidney removal to eliminate kidney cancer last June.

According to the report, Gary Valenciano also admitted he experienced post-surgical depression and it almost consumed him.

He thought of slowing down on his performances or he could even stop if he will no longer feel the enjoyment and happiness in performing on stage.

“Kapagod to. Magwo-workout na naman ako, ‘tapos gagawin ko na naman ang lahat para umabot dun sa dati,” Valenciano said.

Based on the report, Gary Valenciano was able to surpass that issue and he is now back on track but he will be slowing it down.

“Kasi bago ko pa maramdaman yung sakit sa dibdib ko, meron na rin akong mga thoughts na siguro, kailangan ko nang mag-slow down, “ he said.
