MANILA - Online personality Emman Nimedez on Sunday revealed he is suffering from acute myeloid leukemia.

Nimedez posted a 10-minute video on his YouTube channel, where he also thanked everyone for their support.

"Kasabay ng paghataw ko dito sa internet eh yung madalas na pagka-admit ko sa ospital, dahil sa iba't ibang bagay naman," he said.

He then said he suffered from fever which they thought at first was due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but later turned out to be due to a completely different disease.

"So 'yun hinanap nila at na-track nga nila na nasa bone marrow siya. So noong kinuhanan ng samples 'yung bone marrow ko, ayun lumabas kahapon sa results na mayroon akong acute myeloid leukemia. Mayroon akong cancer," Nimedez said.

He also took the opportunity to thank his subscribers and unbox his YouTube Gold Play Button.
