MANILA, Philippines – After losing long-time partner Dolphy to complications from pneumonia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, singer-actress Zsa Zsa Padilla is facing another blow: cancer.

The news came from a tweet by ANC Alerts at 12:59pm on August 19, Sunday. 

Padilla, who is currently in Los Angeles for the 40th day of Dolphy’s death (August 18), said her doctor, Dr. Folkes from Cedar Sinai Medical Center, found that she has “a malignant growth the size of a golf ball inside her kidney,” according to a report from Joseph Pimentel of ABS-CBN.

From the same report, Zsa Zsa said, “The first time I saw Dr. Folkes, he immediately told me it was malignant. So when I heard that word ‘malignant,’ I said, ‘Oh man, I have cancer.’ I went back the next day for blood work and a scan and it showed the same thing — almost a 3cm growth — and he advised for it to be taken out.”

After Dolphy’s death, fans again saw the singer-actress at the press con of her latest movie, “I Do Bidoo Bidoo,” directed by Chris Martinez under Unitel. She co-stars with Gary Valenciano, Eugene Domingo and Ogie Alcasid.

At that press con, Padilla said that she still dreams of Dolphy.

THE LATEST TWEET POSTED by the singer-actress. Fans and supporters are giving their support.

According to ABS-CBN, Padilla will undergo surgery on August 27 at Cedar Sinai to have the tumor removed. Fans will see her back in action after a month, if all goes well with her recovery. – Rappler.com
