Sharon Cuneta finally decided to open up to her fans and supporters through a social media post last March 12, where the 60-year-old artist talked about her current health condition after flying to Singapore earlier this year. The Megastar revealed she had recently undergone surgery on her spine after being on pain management for the past two years.
In her appreciation post, Sharon shared a photo of the gift she received from Pinay nurses who attended to her at the Mount Elizabeth Medical Center in Singapore after her procedure. She wrote,
“Hi. I know-it’s been a while. I was thinking if I should let you all know what I’ve been through…Well, I think, yes. You might’ve heard that I was in Singapore. I wish I went there to vlog, but actually, it was for medical reasons. My spine. Remember how I’d been under pain management for about two years for my right hip and leg? Well, I wish I could’ve gone to see my doctor in Singapore sooner. I had a procedure.”

In the same post, Sharon explained that although there was progress in her condition, she was still in the recovery stage and still has to return to Singapore later this year for follow-up treatments. She added, “And I do feel better, but I am still recovering. I also need to go back there in a couple of months because all the tests revealed that I also have stuff in my neck I need fixed. C4&5, C5&6.”
To her fans, the well-loved Your Face Sounds Familiar judge apologized for her absence on the show and reminded them not to worry too much about her. Sharon also made sure to give a warm message of gratitude to her medical team in the hospital.
“Don’t stress about it. What’s important is that I am okay, the pain has been dealt with and we got to the root of the problem/s. Praise God. I am so sorry to my YFSF family (and my Sharonians who went) for not being able to make it to the Finals.😪😪😪 I tried. I missed, miss, and will greatly miss all of you. Thank you to my great nurses in Singapore, especially my Filipino ones at Mt. Elizabeth Medical Center. And thank you most of all to my doctor, Dr. Prem Pillay for his expertise and kindness. God bless us all. Love and miss all of you, my Sharonians. Hope you’re all okay. 💖💖💖🙏🏻🥰🤗😘”
