A Bold Front Against Lung Cancer

Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago has always been known for her acerbic wit and occasional self-deprecating humor, but she wasn’t joking at all when she disclosed in a press conference at the Senate earlier this month that she has lung cancer, stage 4.

Lung cancer is a sly killer which stealthily sneaks into a person’s system and gradually erodes one’s health. According to the Philippine Society of Medical Oncology (PSMO), lung cancer leads among the top five cancers leading to death in the country. Out of 100,000 Filipinas diagnosed with lung cancer, 2,500 of them die.

The overall survival rate is 17 percent in five years. Although it might be much, much lower—almost nil in five years—for people with stage 4, one can never discount what an indomitable spirit, such as that which Senator Miriam has, can have on the outcome of the cancer.
