On March 24, 2008, the Aquino family announced that the former President had been diagnosed with colon cancer. While she had initially been informed by her doctors that she had only three months to live, Aquino pursued chemotherapy. In public remarks made on May 13, 2008, she announced that blood tests indicated that she was responding positively to the medical treatment.
By July 2009, Aquino was reported to be in a very serious condition and confined to Makati Medical Center due to loss of appetite. It was announced that Aquino and her family had decided to cease chemotherapy and other medical interventions.
