MAY good news ang tinaguriang “Iron Man” ng Philippine Basketball Association na si LA Tenorio.
Kinumpirma kasi ng professional basketball player na napagtagumpayan niya ang pakikipaglaban sa sakit na cancer.
Ibig sabihin, cancer-free na siya!
Sa Instagram, lubos ang pasasalamat ng Barangay Ginebra guard sa mga taong hindi siya iniwan at patuloy na sinuportahan siya habang nagpapagaling.
“For those who were my prayer warriors, for those who showed me so much love and and support…Know that, I am forever grateful to all of you,” wika niya sa IG.
Anunsyo pa niya, “My scan and last test results show no trace of cancer and that the treatment was effective. I am now in remission. Praise God!”
Dahil magaling na siya, excited niyang sinabi na babalik na siya sa paglalaro ng basketball.

“Now I am returning to basketball. For my love of the game. This time with a higher purpose,” caption niya sa post.
Sey pa niya, “Not as the old LA, but hopefully with the new and better version of myself.”
Wish din daw ni LA na makapag-inspire siya ng maraming tao sa pamamagitan ng basketball.
“I hope I can inspire people through the game of basketball – that life, winning battles, winning championships – are all more meaningful not because of the end goal but because of the journey,” lahad niya.
Patuloy niya, “My journey was filled with people I love, people I inspire, people who inspire me, and people who prayed for me.”
“It made every hardship, every daily win, every nervous waiting game, every part of the journey more meaningful. It made everything worth it. It made me realize what I am living for and fighting for,” dagdag niya.
Mensahe pa niya, “Life is short. Let’s live life to the fullest and more meaningful this time around. I can’t wait to touch a basketball once again.”
“This is my story. And I’m ready to enter the next chapter of my life,” aniya pa.
Kung matatandaan, noong March 21 nang ibinalita na na-diagnose ng Stage 3 colon cancer ang 38-anyos na professional basketball player.
Sa official statement na ipinost sa PBA website noon, humingi ng paumanhin si LA sa publiko lalo sa mga supporters ng Ginebra dahil inilihim muna niya ang kanyang health condition matapos malaman ang initial diagnosis sa kanya three weeks ago.
“I was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. The initial testing three weeks ago led me to instantly miss practices and games. I have completed my surgery last week and will soon undergo treatment for the next few months,” sey niya sa dating pahayag.
Gayunpaman, ipinagdiinan ng Ginebra player na hindi pa siya magre-retire sa PBA at naniniwala siya na makaka-recover din siya very soon sa tulong na rin ng kanyang mga doktor mula sa Pilipinas at Singapore.
