May bagong update si Kris Aquino tungkol sa health journey niya.
Sa Instagram ngayong Biyernes, August 22, 2025, sinabi ni Kris na hiniling niya sa kanyang mga doktor na tapusin ang lahat ng medical procedures niya bago ang August 21.
Nagsimula raw ang mga ito gabi ng August 20 at natapos bago maghatinggabi.
Lahad ni Kris: "I asked my team of doctors to please get my surgical procedures done before August 21.
"We started on August 20, 8:15 PM that was the time check I heard before 'daddy Doc' my anesthesiologist and my cousin in law, Dr. Nick (he’s an interventional cardiologist) started their work…
"I remember being transferred to another cardiac OR for my port-a-cath. And I was back in my room before 12 midnight (sorry Cinderella)."
Ang port-a-cath, ayon sa National Cancer Institute, ay "device used to draw blood and give treatments, including intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, or drugs such as chemotherapy and antibiotics.
"The port is placed under the skin, usually in the right side of the chest. It is attached to a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) that is guided (threaded) into a large vein above the right side of the heart called the superior vena cava.
"A needle is inserted through the skin into the port to draw blood or give fluids and other treatments. A port-a-cath may stay in place for many weeks, months, or years."

KRIS CREATES #LABANKRIS HASHTAG
Ayon pa kay Kris, naluluha siya habang nagsusulat ng caption sa kanyang post dahil naalala niya ang yumaong inang si dating Pangulong Cory Aquino na labis daw nagsakripisyo para sa kanila.
May kahalintulad din daw kasing procedure na pinagdaanan noon ang kanyang ina, pero wala silang narinig na reklamo mula rito.
Pagbabahagi ni Kris: "While writing this happy tears are flowing- because I’m remembering how much our mom endured for us, she also had a port-a-cath surgically inplanted, yet we never heard her complain, and she didn’t have a pain management doctor.
"I have an entire team of doctors, and my vascular surgeon, Dr. Lucban did a great job (and Dr. Kash his senior resident/fellow-while waking up from my anesthesia I said 'where’s the cutie pie doctor and can I now please have my DAIM' coincidentally my brother Noy & I had the same favorite chocolate)?"
Makikita rin sa kanyang post na marami silang larawan ng panganay na anak na si Joshua at bunsong si Bimby.
Ang dalawang anak daw niya ang nagpapatibay sa kanyang loob na lumaban pa rin.
Dagdag ni Kris: "You saw a lot of pics of kuya Josh & Bimb (he’s the last pic wearing the protective outfit for people to get into the post-op recovery area)—my sons are the reason I continue to endure—if I wasn’t their mama, matagal na po akong sumuko.
"It’s very difficult to be as brave as my dad & my mom because I know this is just the beginning of more aggressive treatment to keep me alive and get me to a point of remission."
Ayon pa kay Kris, may anim na buwan ang mga doktor niya upang pag-aralan ang nararapat na paggamot sa kanya dahil sa dami ng kumplikasyong nararamdaman ng TV host-actress.
"My doctors have the next 6 months while I’m in isolation, to figure out the best treatment plan for someone with as many allergies to medicine, food and the environment… for me it’s rehabilitation physical therapy, resuming my love for cooking (I’m not allowed to be near the flame for more than a few minutes because it triggers my lupus, Polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and progressive systemic sclerosis flares) with an 'assistant' and another tutorial based activity because one is never too old to continue stimulating the brain."
Sa huli, gumawa si Kris ng bagong hashtag na #LabanKris para laging ipaalala sa sarili ang malaking utang na loob niya sa lahat ng nagdarasal para sa kanyang paggaling.
"I have a new hashtag to remind myself how much I owe all of you who continue praying for me. Thank you for your patience, support, and much appreciated LOVE. #labankris"
