Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago diagnosed Stage 4 Lung Cancer as she announced on Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
The cancer is causing difficulty in her breathing, Santiago told a news conference.
Santiago added that her cancer is not metastatic, and she is hopeful that with the medication she is taking, the cancer can be cured in six months. "I don't smoke. I don't drink," she added.
"I don’t know what the reactions of my enemies are. Maybe they’ll be happy because on one hand I might die and then they could get rid of me but on the other hand, I might survive and I will get rid of them," she added.
Santiago said although the cancer is at Stage 4, it has not metastasized or spread in other parts of her body.
“In my case, they are very well-behaved. I’ve been disciplined all my life so even my cancer cells are showing excellent discipline,” she added, noting that she'll be taking medicine and won't undergo chemotherapy.
When asked what could've triggered her illness, Santiago said in jest: "giving trouble to my colleagues at work."
