She already stopped all treatment and may be just waiting for her time. Her final fight bring sad memories for some...

MANILA, Philippines— Former President Corazon Aquino, who is battling colon cancer, has decided to forgo further chemotherapy or any other medical treatment, her spokeswoman was quoted Thursday as saying.
The 76-year-old Aquino, who led the Philippines from 1986 to 1992 after the fall of Ferdinand Marcos, was admitted to a Manila hospital last week, and is reportedly being fed intravenously.
"The country's icon of democracy is fighting the hardest battle of her life," spokeswoman Deedee Siytangco wrote in an article published in the Manila Bulletin.
"She is no longer receiving any chemotherapy or any other medical interventions," she said, quoting a family member.
Members of the Aquino family and the former president's doctors were not immediately available for comment. Reporters who converged at the hospital were asked to leave, an AFP photographer said.
Aquino has largely remained out of the public eye in recent months, with doctors fearing she may contract infections in her fragile state.
She had been undergoing chemotherapy and was previously hospitalized from March to May.

July 2nd, 2009 08:53 PM #3Sana magbago isip ni Cory Aquino, at magpagamot na siya. Kawawa naman, isa siyang mabait na tao, kung mawawala siya ngayon, malaking kawalan ito sa Pilipinas. May pera naman sila eh, kung gugustuhin niya lang talaga.
Pag mabait talaga, kinukuha ka na ni Lord. :pope:
May Former Pres. Cory Aquino live longer and survive the illness that she's experiencing :pope:

July 2nd, 2009 09:53 PM #5imho, the reason why she was already taken out of ICU is because doctors may see that its useless to put her in ICU. hunch ko lang to... baka news release na lang din ito ng family nya, or she herself might want it to get out of ICU because she sees na wala na ring mangyayari.

July 2nd, 2009 10:15 PM #6May ibang pasyente na susuko talaga sa chemotherapy talaga, tignan niyo lang si Farrah Fawcett and what she went through. I think Cory already may have accepted her faith. Malabo ka na when terminal case. Don't believe what the media sometimes write. Remember they were saying about FPJ and the wife of Ted Failon getting better, the next RIP na pala.

July 2nd, 2009 10:46 PM #9On leaving the ICU....
She probably wants to leave this world on her own terms with her love ones near her.
She will forever be an icon in our history as a nation.

July 2nd, 2009 11:05 PM #10alam nating last stage na ang CA ni Tita Cory kaya kung tinapat na rin ng duktor, kadalasan mas pinipili na ng kamag-anak na ipa transfer sa private room ang pasyente wherein they can give the maximum care together and without limits. sa ICU may oras ang dalaw at sa dami ng nakakabit na support, halos di mo na makausap.
kahit sinong matapang sa final stage ng laban sa CA, bibigay at bibigay sa bandang huli PARA SUMUKO TOTALLY.
masakit ang CA

July 3rd, 2009 08:35 AM #12this brings to mind another article i read about a potential cure for cancer... and they're planning to start human clinical trials soon.
from Reuters
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian scientists have developed a "trojan horse" therapy to combat cancer, using a bacterially-derived nano cell to penetrate and disarm the cancer cell before a second nano cell kills it with chemotherapy drugs.
The "trojan horse" therapy has the potential to directly target cancer cells with chemotherapy, rather than the current treatment that sees chemotherapy drugs injected into a cancer patient and attacking both cancer and healthy cells.
Sydney scientists Dr Jennifer MacDiarmid and Dr Himanshu Brahmbhatt, who formed EnGenelC Pty Ltd in 2001, said they had achieved 100 percent survival in mice with human cancer cells by using the "trojan horse" therapy in the past two years.
The scientists plan to start human clinical trials in the coming months. Human trials of the cell delivery system will start next week at the Peter MacCullum Cancer Center at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and The Austin at the University of Melbourne.
The therapy, published in the latest Nature Biotechnology journal, sees mini-cells called EDVs (EnGenelC Delivery Vehicle) attach and enter the cancer cell.
The first wave of mini-cells release ribonucleic acid molecules, called siRNA, which switch off the production of proteins that make the cancer cell resistant to chemotherapy.
A second wave of EDV cells is then accepted by the cancer cell and releases chemotherapy drugs, killing the cancer cell.
"The beauty is that our EDVs operate like 'Trojan Horses' They arrive at the gates of the affected cells and are always allowed in," said MacDiarmid.
"We are playing the rogue cells at their own game. They switch-on the gene to produce the protein to resist drugs, and we are switching-off the gene which, in turn, enables the drugs to enter."

July 3rd, 2009 11:01 PM #13aquino is a source of prayer to filipinos...
ot: there is this german drug that was suppose to be given to my brother, but the doctor didnt agree because he said that it is a big risk because the drug is on the stage of experimentation, we got the drug from bfad office because of its nature.
i think aquino had a chemotheraphy which is a new kind, it did help improved her condition but nonetheless a drug that kills even the normal flora isnt any good...
we all just have to pray that that with her condition, either she be well or not could create another big impact to filipinos like people power.

July 9th, 2009 05:03 AM #17I don't want to criticize Cory in any manner whatsoever. I admired her acts that led to our freedom from the Marcoses. However, I believe that in order for her condition to improve, she must first consider the plea of the farmers of the Hacienda Luisita regarding the distribution of lands under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program. I am of the belief that a clean conscience is the best medicine.

July 10th, 2009 04:22 PM #18Cory's color themed people power is still currently being used in other countries and being misused here in the country. Cory Cojuangco Aquino will always be an international icon of democracy and has impacted this planet much more than Michael Jackson has. While she has made many mistakes, some she admitted and some not, she will remain as inspiration to many people and countries because of the courage she had shown from 1985 to 1986. From there on, I'm really not too sure if her decisions served her or the country well. She created the greatest opportunity to really turn around the country but she apparently was not equipped to take advantage of it. And instead of us now back to our former glory days (meaning before the Marcos got greedy) many now sincerely believe that we're better off overall during the best years of Marcos dynasty (upto mid-70's before Imelda started controlling Ferdie).
Notwithstanding, Cory deserves all our fervent prayers for she has given much and has taken little from the country.

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakin...-daughter-KrisAquino's condition worsens, says daughter
MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE) The condition of former Philippine president Corazon Aquino, in hospital for colon cancer, has deteriorated, her daughter said in a televised interview Monday.
Prayers have been said across this mostly Catholic Southeast Asian nation for Aquino, 76, who has been hospitalized for the past month.
"This is the hardest time for all of us," Kristina Bernadette Aquino told ABS-CBN television.
Aquino's daughter wept as she outlined her mother's condition.
"She is in pain already, so please pray for her so that it could be lessened.”
"We don't know how many more hours, days, and weeks God will give her, but please help us pray that my Mom won't suffer too much pain," she said.
Over the past four weeks, Aquino's friends and former officials have been rallying support for the family, which has appealed for the public to give them private space.
A spokeswoman for the family earlier said Aquino had given up all medical intervention including chemotherapy and was leaving her fate to God.
