'SADLY, THERE ARE THINGS BEYOND ONE’S CONTROL'
Batangueño basketball veteran and Ginebra’s “Iron Man” LA Tenorio has been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.
“I would like to issue a statement about my health status by firstly apologizing to my teammates, some coaches, the PBA, the fans, the media, and even some friends. As most of you are aware I have been nursing a minor injury since the Finals last January. I used that as the reason for my sudden absence. My sincerest apologies to all,” Tenorio said in a statement released on the PBA website on Tuesday.
“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,” he added.
“I have given not only 17 full years to the PBA but have dedicated my whole life to basketball. I have committed my body and health to the love of the game. It has been my passion and love. Sadly, there are things beyond one’s control. But with my FAITH, I am lifting everything to God now and I believe there is a higher purpose as I go through this part of my life,” the statement read.
