The malignant tumor in Zsa Zsa Padilla's kidney was successfully removed according to her daughters Zia and Nicole Quizon. Zsa Zsa was diagnosed with kidney cancer stage 1 and had undergone an operation August 27 at teh Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles to prevent the cancer from spreading.
Zia, daughter of Zsa Zsa and comedy king Dolphy affirmed that the operation was successful as what the doctors told them.
“Surgery was a success! As far as the doctors could tell it has not spread anywhere else. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support,” she said.
According to Zsa Zsa's other daughter, Nicole, the surgery lasted for more than five hours
“It’s good news naman all around. They said the surgery was successful. It took them five and a half hours. As of mga 3:30 a.m. nasa recovery na yung mom ko,” Nicole told ABS-CBN News.
Nicole, who still haven't have a US visa can't be with her mother during the operation but she said that her sisters Zia and Karylle were on Zsa Zsa's side and will be staying in the US for one more week while their mom is recovering.
“At this time, I just can’t [go to the U.S.] at the moment. Wala pa akong U.S. visa but as soon as makabalik akong Australia, I’m fixing everything so that in her next check up puwede na akong sumama,” she said.
Meanwhile, a mass for Zsa Zsa's fast recovery was celebrated at the Dolphy Theater on Tuesday which was attended by the Quizon family and their close friends.
