ANTHONY TABERNA – Zoey Taberna, the daughter of broadcaster Anthony Taberna, opens up about having Leukemia at 12 years old.
Leukemia is a type of cancer that’s in the blood. It can treated via chemotherapy but there’s no cure for this disease yet that’s out in the market. As much as we are all aware of, cancer is among the top medical conditions that kills lots of people. To recall, famous vlogger Emman Nimedez passed away last August losing his battle versus Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
On what seems to be in a really heart breaking post, Anthony Taberna, a famous broadcaster, opened up about his struggles and pain as a father seeing her daughter to go through all of it at such young age. His eldest, who is just 12 years old, was diagnosed to have Leukemia a year ago and recently, she has to chop off all of her hair for her chemotherapy.
In the comment section of Ka Tunying’s post, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach wanted to reach out to Zoey and express her admiration for the little girl’s strength. And Zoey, in a post, shared in a post her disbelief that it’s already been a year of battle against this incurable disease.
Keeping her faith and hopes up, she shared a story of what happened last year. It was accordingly 2 A.M. when she felt her legs in pain and she couldn’t walk. They thought of having some bone problems with her but after going through some tests, it was found out she has bone marrow disease which ended up to be Leukemia.
And the word itself made her afraid. She said, “i needed to chop off all my hair. and that made me very insecure and sad all the time. i really thought my life would already end there. but no. i stayed strong and did my best.”
She kept strong for her family and friends. And in her post, she thanked everyone who have been with her all the way. Most especially her parents and sibling who never gave up and continue to love her.
