<p>Angelica Panganiban opened up about her journey in battling avascular necrosis.</p><p>Mayo Clinic described the health condition as &quot;the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Kumbaga namatay ang hip bone ko. Nawalan na siya ng blood flow, hindi niya kayang gumaling on its own. Kailangan ng tulong, like ng operation, hip replacement, mga ganyan,&quot; she said in an interview in <em>Magandang Buhay.</em></p><p>The actress admitted that it felt unfair when she learned about the complexities of her condition.</p><div><iframe width="1250" height="703" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aZkBGHOzsnQ" title="Angelica talks about her health condition | Magandang Buhay" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&quot;Nung naririnig ko ito, wait lang magte-37 pa lang ako. Tapos ngayon pa lang natutupad ang mga pangarap ko sa buhay. Sabi ko pero bakit naman medyo unfair?&#x27; Gusto ko pang i-enjoy ang mga ibinibigay sa akin,&quot; she stated.</p><p>Instead of immediately <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">resorting </span>to surgery, they searched for a more conservative approach first.</p><p>&quot;So naghanap ako ng mas conservative approach para hindi muna tayo mapunta roon sa nakakatakot na surgery... Siguro nung nalaman ko lang &#x27;yon, narinig ko &#x27;yon hindi strong enough ang mind ko para tanggapin &#x27;yung ganung balita. So, nung nakahanap naman kami ng conservative approach na ito nga, better naman,&quot; she said.</p><p>The actress went on: &quot;&#x27;Yung procedure na ginawa sa akin is nilagyan ng stem cell &#x27;yung dead bones sa left and right hip.&quot;</p><p>After the stem cell treatment, Angelica relayed that she already felt some improvements.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwAVJUty93E/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A21753124.5%2C%22ls%22%3A1861474.5%2C%22le%22%3A1862137%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Yung progress niya is yung right leg ko better, less &#x27;yung pain. Though mayroon pa rin, kaya lang kasi ang sabi naman ng doctor is mga nasa eight weeks bago ko maramdaman &#x27;yung ginhawa na inasam-asam ko na halos isang taon na. So hopefully ay magtuloy-tuloy,&quot; she shared.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/11/21/angelica-panganiban-diagnosed-with-bone-death-disease-2053"><strong><u>READ: Angelica Panganiban diagnosed with ‘bone death’ disease</u></strong></a></div><p>The actress added: &quot;Talagang nagiging positive lang mentally ganun. Sabi nga nila i-manifest natin &#x27;yung healing.&quot;</p><p>Angelica remarked that she wants to get well for her daughter.</p><p>&quot;Talagang iniisip ko nun paano niya ako mae-enjoy bilang nanay kung limited &#x27;yung mga pwede kong gawin. Kasi ang tinanong ko nga, what if hindi ako magpa-opera? Ang sagot sa akin is disability so mas ayaw natin &#x27;yon. So hanggang may solusyon, hanap lang nang hanap ng solusyon,&quot; she stated.</p>
