Hajji Alejandro battles stage 4 colon cancer

OPM icon Hajji Alejandro is now back home after underwent surgery due to his battle with stage 4 colon cancer. This was revealed by Hajji longtime girlfriend Alynna Velasquez.

Alynna during her interview with Julius Babao Unplugged said Hajji was in Vigan for a show when he suddenly felt bloated and could not breathe or eat. He went to have a CT scan and was informed by his doctor that he has cancer.

The operation was successful but days after the singer was rushed to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to an infection.

“Today, he’s home. Meron lang siyang walker kasi nag-aaral lang ulit siyang… kasi nawalan na siya ng muscles eh. He’s incapacitated pero ang ganda pa rin ng memory at boses niya,” Alynna said.

“Love, if you’re watching this, pareho tayong nagugulat sa mga nangyayari like what you’re going through right now. I just want you to know that I am with you. All the pain that you feel, I feel it two hundred times because I know you… But then, things happened and kung ano man tayo ngayon, it’s okay… Sana gumaling ka na, and I know you will. I know you will sing again.” added Alynna.

“Isa lang ang pinanggalingan nating lahat and pare-pareho lang tayong lahat. Isa lang naman pupuntahan natin, ‘di ba, love? Magkikita tayong lahat do’n and maybe then baka maramdaman ko na yung love mo sa akin. But I love you, I love your family, from my heart,” said Alynna.
