Anthony Taberna Shares "Agaw-Buhay" Experience Of His Daughter

Here are some confessions of Anthony Taberna about his daughter who is now cancer-free.

ANTHONY TABERNA – The 13-year-old daughter of Anthony Taberna had cancer and here are some confessions from him.

Famous broadcaster Anthony Taberna and his wife Rossel Taberna opened up about their daughter’s real condition in 2020. She was diagnosed with leukemia in 2019 – a type of cancer with no treatment. But with chemotherapy, this can be prevented from coming back. She was first diagnosed with bone marrow disease but it was later on confirmed that she has cancer in the blood.

This was the toughest challenge for their family and the pain for them as parents, seeing their daughter suffer was indescribable. His wife confessed based on a previous article, “Takot na takot ako, Atch pero napakatapang mo. You don’t even complain and it hurts me even more. Kahit alam ko na masakit na masakit, you tried to stay calm because you didn’t want us to worry.”

And now, two years after battling this disease, his daughter is now cancer-free. In an Instagram post, after a year of smoothly undergoing chemotherapy, her doctors discovered that her cancer came back when these cancer cells are supposed to be gone. It came back in a more dangerous and fatal form.

Last January, they went abroad for her medication. She was all scared thinking that her life would end at 13 but after a long time of battling, they returned to the country with her who is now cancer-free. She would still have checkups and maintenance drug infusions from time to time.

In a Facebook post, he expressed in his post, “Nandito na kami sa ating bayan – pagkalipas ng lima’t kalahating buwan doon sa Singapore hindi para magbakasyon kungdi upang humarap sa isang matinding hamon sa aming pamilya kung saan nag-agaw buhay ang aming panganay na si Zoey.”

It turned out his daughter was also asking the same question about her life seemingly coming to an end at 13. But their faith and prayers work. They witnessed God’s miracle and seen it on how He did it to Zoey.
