“Last Sunday, my friend accompanied me to the ER. My cough is getting worse so my medical team advised me to go to be sure it’s nothing life threatening.
“As I lay down there waiting for all the test and scan results, I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘What if these are my final moments? What if this is it? I can’t go yet, Kel. I have to live some more!’ I told my friend who accompanied me. ‘That’s right, you still have a lot to do,’ she replied.
“So while I wait for the ER physician’s verdict, I made a mental list of why I have to stay alive:
“1) I have to witness my god children, niece and nephew grow up into wonderful adult humans that I know I’ll be proud of.
“2) I have to spend an awesome quality time with my family in the Philippines especially my senior citizen mom and cat.
“3) I still have to visit good friends everywhere in the world especially in different parts of America, in Europe and Dubai.
“4) I still have pending books to write and 2 of them will be turned into a badass screen play. I will pitch them to investors so it can be made into indie films that will bring global recognition to Filipino-American talents.
“5) I am not done inspiring the world with my survival story and sharing how humanity still exists bec if not for the kind people who’ve been helping me in this journey, I wouldn’t be here winning.
“6) I still haven’t ticked everything in my bucket list which includes a date a Brad Pitt, doing a collab with @jokoy, an apartment by the beach, getting another tattoo all over my torso… this list can just go on and on as I still have tons that I wanna do!
“7) Because I know in my heart that God’s plan for me isn’t done yet. I just need to trust and take it one baby step at a time.
“Luckily, the ER physician came back and said I will not be admitted because they don’t see anything life threatening. No CoVid, no pulmonary embolism, no cardiac issues. THANK YOU GOD! But cancer is still progressing so I will switch drugs this week and hopefully, it does the trick… For now, let’s keep praying and winning. One breath at a time. Wooozaaaa! We’re staying alive, baby,” Jaymee wrote on Instagram.
