After long battling with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), the King of Rap, Francis Magalona, passed away earlier today at around 12:20pm @ The Medical City. The disease (also known as Acute Myelogenous Leukemia)is a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
Symptoms of AML are caused by low numbers of healthy blood cells and high numbers of leukemia cells. Other symptoms include the following :
* White blood cells fight infection. Low numbers can lead to fever and frequent infections.
* Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. Low numbers can lead to anemia — feeling tired or weak, being short of breath and looking pale.
* Platelets control bleeding. Low numbers can lead to easy bleeding or bruising and tiny red spots under the skin (petechiae).
* High numbers of leukemia cells may cause pain in the bones or joints.
A person with AML may feel generally unwell and run-down. He or she may also have other, less common symptoms.
A lot of people was shocked when Vic Sotto finally announced the news in Eat Bulaga. Everyone thought that he was already recuperating for there were a lot of projects already lined-up for him.
He will truly be missed by his fans and the music industry. He would always be remembered for the great contribution and achievement that he had accomplished during his stay here. He knocked some sense into the rap industry with his patriotic songs.
