NAGING bukas ang batikang aktres at Quezon City Councilor na si Aiko Melendez tungkol sa matagal na niyang problema sa thyroid.

Sa isang facebook post, ikinuwento ni Aiko na teenager pa lamang siya nang unang ma-diagnose sa sakit. 

“I’ve actually been dealing with thyroid problems since my teenage years. Back then, I was treated and took my medications, but like many people, I made the mistake of thinking that once I felt better and the symptoms were gone, I could stop taking them on my own,” saad niya.

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this journey, it’s this: listen to your body, don’t skip your checkups, and never stop your medication without your doctor’s advice,” sey niya.

Baka Bet Mo: Aiko Melendez humugot sa panlalait sa itsura ng iba, para kay Kim nga ba? 

Umaasa rin ang aktres na magsisilbing inspirasyon ang kanyang karanasan sa iba na seryosohin ang kanilang kalusugan.

“If my story helps even one person avoid the same mistake, then this journey has a greater purpose,” aniya pa.

Nauna nang ibinahagi ni Aiko ang ikalawang araw ng tinawag niyang “thyroid journey,” kung saan sumailalim siya sa thyroid scan matapos magpa-biopsy sa isang endocrinologist.

Ayon sa paunang pagsusuri ng kanyang doktor, positibo ang naging resulta.

“Based on Dr. Allan’s initial assessment, my thyroid nodules appear to be benign. While that’s very reassuring, I’m still praying that the official biopsy results will confirm that everything is indeed okay,” caption niya sa mga larawang kuha sa ospital.

Hindi rin itinago ni Aiko ang katotohanang napakamahal magkasakit, kaya hinikayat niya ang lahat na unahin ang pangangalaga sa kalusugan.

“Thank You Lord Jesus for my health card that I didn’t have to spend any single penny. Getting sick is really expensive. So take care of our health,” ani Aiko.

Matatandaang kamakailan lang ay naging usap-usapan din ang aktres matapos pormal na pumasok sa showbiz ang kanyang anak na si Marthena Jickain.
