Actress Dina Bonnevie revealed she went through extreme depression last Christmas, fearing she had cancer. Speaking in a taped interview on ABS-CBN's TV Patrol World on December 26, she shared how she struggled with constant pain and fatigue.
"I know I've been living a healthy life. I eat fruits, vegetables, and work out, so I couldn't understand why I was getting sick," Dina said. "I thought I was superwoman, but rest is important too."
For a month, Dina experienced body pains, feeling constantly tired and weak. "I was always in pain, like my spine was so weak," she explained. She initially feared she had cancer, but after extensive tests on her liver, kidney, heart, and other organs, doctors diagnosed her with a slipped disc—a prolapsed or herniated disc.
Dina believes the pain started after her trip to Italy, where she carried heavy luggage and walked extensively. Doctors also found a cyst in her uterus, but assured her it was not cancerous.
This isn't the first time Dina has faced health issues. She had to give up her role in Mano Po 5: Gua Ai Di due to bleeding caused by a medication she was taking. "It was supposed to help with fat, but it turned out I needed rest while taking it," she explained.
