“I choose to be 100% honest,” Kris Aquino began. “I arrived in the 🇺🇸 with 3 diagnosed autoimmune conditions, a 4th was confirmed in late June of 2022 (1. Autoimmune Thyroiditis 2. Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria 3. Churg Strauss/EGPA- a rare, complicated form of vasculitis 4. Systemic Sclerosis; and this 2024, I was diagnosed with 5. SLE/Lupus and 6. Rheumatoid Arthritis.) We are still waiting for the results of 2 more autoimmune conditions.”
Then, she went on to express gratitude. “I thank all of you for your prayers. MARAMING SALAMAT PO SA INYONG PATULOY NA MALASAKIT AT SUPORTA,” Kris Aquino wrote, before sharing that she will be starting her chemotherapy sessions in the Philippines.
“The reason I decided to go home is because I need to start my second immunosuppressant infusions in 2-3 weeks (it’s a gentler term for chemotherapy),” she said. “Emotionally, I need the encouragement and unwavering faith my sisters & cousins, closest friends, and trusted team of doctors can provide.”
“Sadly, what was the BATTLE TO IMPROVE MY HEALTH is now THE STRUGGLE TO PROTECT MY VITAL ORGANS. This is now the FIGHT OF MY LIFE,” Kris Aquino continued.

The @flypal team, my 2 Fil-Am close friends Dr. Henry & Dr. Titus, and MY Dr. MP, my 3 best friends @michaelleyva_ , @lenalonte, and @annebinay (kuya josh is staying with ANNE for a few more weeks), my FILAM nurses (Mike, Cara, Patricia) and my source of strength, and God’s biggest blessing, my ‘BIMB’. They are flying home with me. A longer gratitude post when we get home,” Kris Aquino mentioned.
