Recently, Miles made headlines after she revealed that she was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, which is a common type of thyroid cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“I used to be scared of hospitals… but since late last year I haven’t felt my normal self. Waking up in the middle of the night cause I can’t breathe, I get tired so easily, sooooo frustrated with my weight gain, para akong palaging hapong-hapo and sinasakal.. then finally I had the courage to have it checked.. for someone who’s afraid of needles I feel like it was an endless blood tests, ultrasound to biopsy, then the decision to remove it ASAP… we found out it was Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. I had to undergo Thyroidectomy surgery to remove my thyroid glands. It all happened in an instant,” she said. 

“A month after my operation, here I am embracing my journey and sharing it to all of you,” she wrote in her post on April 14. “I’ve been receiving messages from you guys who has the same situation with me that you’re inspired with what I went through, but sharing your experiences too and reading your comments inspired me too. You are not alone. Sending my love to everyone. Love and prioritize yourself.”

Miles rose to fame as a cast member of the comedy gag show Goin’ Bulilit. She recently starred in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo as the young Marites (later played by Cherry Pie Picache) — a performance which earned her widespread praise on social media.
