Sitti found out she was pregnant with her second child in February of this year. The celebrity mom shared that she and her family were excited because of their new blessing.
However, the talented bossa nova singer had to face several challenges while she was carrying her child which she shared on Instagram as well as her personal vlog.
Sitti shared that she had an ultrasound which revealed that she had a 4-inch cyst on her ovary. Her OB-GYN, Dr. Eileen Manalo, told her that the cyst did not look normal which naturally worried the celebrity mom.

The singer then bravely opened up about her mother who passed away from bile duct cancer and expressed her fears because of this.
"My mom died of bile duct cancer just last year. The trauma and scare of cancer is [sic] still quite fresh in my mind... I watched as she grew weaker and bone-thin, saw her torment and suffering, welcomed the painful release of death with her. Cancer ran in our family, maybe it even frolicked in glee, and I knew there was a big chance I might have it too someday. I just never expected to be confronted with its possibility now, at my 36 years."
Nevertheless, the singer fought through her fears and gained strength due to her steadfast faith in God whom she heartily believed will be with her.
According to Sitti, she had to undergo an operation to remove the ovarian cyst which fortunately turned out to be benign. She also happily shared that the cyst did not damage her ovary and that she and her baby were both fine.
