Doctors: Tomas cancer-free

Rene U. Borromeo - The Philippine Star

CEBU, Philippines - Former Cebu City congressman Tomas Osmeña has been declared cancer-free by his physicians at the M. D. Andersons Cancer Center in Houston, Texas in his most recent examination.

“Human na ang checkup, clear na man. Next checkup annual na imbes every six months,” said his wife, Councilor Margarita Osmeña, in a text message to The Freeman. 

The couple travelled to the United States last week for a checkup and laboratory tests reportedly showed no more signs of cancer.

Osmeña said his doctors told him he is already safe.

While he was the city mayor in 2008, Osmeña travelled to Houston, Texas to undergo surgery as part of the treatment of his stage IV urinary bladder cancer. Some 40 lymph nodes were removed during the procedure.

Osmeña said Señor Santo Niño gave him a miracle because thousands of his political supporters had prayed for his safety.

“Daghan kaayo nga akong supporters nga walay hunong pag-ampo mao nga gihatagan na lang tingali ko og chance,” he said.

The couple is scheduled to fly back to the Philippines today. – (FREEMAN)
