MARITONIโS BREAST CANCER JOURNEY:
It was in April 2001 when Maritoni was diagnosed with stage 2A breast cancer. The actress was in her early thirties at the time.
But as she revealed in an interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2011, Maritoni already felt a lump on her right breast after she gave birth to her first child. She was 26.
The following year, she consulted with her OB-GYN, and was told โBata ka pa, you have nothing to worry about.โ
Years later, when her mom got very sick, Maritoni flew to the U.S. to get a second opinion from her uncle, a doctor. The actress-advocate informed her uncle about the lump.
She recalled in her 2011 interview, โHe asked if I had anything done. I said yes, got the results and looked at it for the first time. โ
It said I have a palpable mass, calcification; the report said I should have a checkup in six months.
I was very blessed. Heโs Filipino. There was a team of 10 doctors, all Pinoy friends of my uncle.
โHe came from the OR and said, โPositive, Iโm sorry we have to remove the lump, but they still canโt tell you yet if itโs cancer.โ โThey did a biopsy and found out it was positive for malignancy.
โThey removed 40 percent of my right breast because they insisted that a lumpectomy is as effective as mastectomy.โ
According to BreastCancer.org, lumpectomy is โsurgery in which only the tumor and some surrounding tissue is removed.โ Mastectomy, on the other hand, means โthe removal of the whole breast.โ
In a 2003 interview with YES! Magazine, Maritoni opened up about her mindset then. She said, โIโm idealistic. I really like to believe the best in everything. โBut Iโm also realistic.
My ideals are based on reality, not on the unreachable. โWhen I found out that I was sick, I took control of the situation. I prepared myself mentally. โWhen I got to that level, I relied on faith. The rest is really prayers.
โTalagang, โGod do you still want me to live? Kung ayaw mo talaga, kunin mo na ako. My prayer na lang is: Donโt make it hard for me. Huwag lang masakit.'โ
