Vlogger Emman Nimedez reveals he has leukemia

Vlogger Emman Nimedez revealed on Sunday that he had acute myeloid leukemia.

In his latest vlog post, Nimedez said he was admitted to the hospital for a fever, which he thought at first was due to COVID-19.

"Siyempre noong una akala namin COVID siya, pero hindi eh. Iba 'yong pinangagalingan noong lagnat. So hinanap nila and na-track nila nasa bone marrow siya," he said.

"Noong kinuhaan ng samples 'yong bone marrow ko, lumabas sa results may acute myeloid leukemia. Mayroon akong cancer," Nimedez added.

Nimedez said this would be his toughest battle yet, but assured his followers that he would be strong and positive all throughout.

“Ito na ‘yong pinakamatindi na laban na kakaharapin ko at sinasabi ko sa inyo ngayon, lahat ginagawa ko para manatiling matibay, maging handa at higit sa lahat, maging malakas kasi kailangan eh,” he said.

"Hayaan niyo lang akong isama kayo sa laban na 'to para makita niyo lahat ng ibabato sa ating hamon, pagsubok, kakayanin. Basta diretso lang tingin natin sa buhay at tsaka positibo tayo," Nimedez added.

He also took the opportunity to unbox his Gold Play Button and thank his subscribers for helping him achieve the milestone.

Nimedez started making videos on YouTube in 2011. He became popular in 2017 after his parody videos went viral on the internet.

Currently, he has 1.23 million subscribers on YouTube. — DVM, GMA News
