A TENACIOUS FIGHTER TO THE VERY END
In 2021, Sean received the devastating news of his bone cancer diagnosis.
His condition had already advanced to Stage 4, as confirmed by the biopsy.
"I believed that my exercise routine was effective, as my muscles were in pain. It's been nearly two months, and the pain persisted, so I had to seek a massage," Sean recounted during an interview with the news program 24 Oras.
Doctors discovered a lump on Sean's left shoulder, leading to its surgical removal.
"There was a fracture inside, along with a minute lump. I shed numerous tears, finding it hard to accept that this was happening to me," Sean shared with a heavy heart.
Refusing to succumb to his illness, Sean channeled his energy into motivating others through TikTok.
Sean's videos amassed millions of views, drawing admiration for his resilience despite grappling with such a formidable ailment.
"My current focus is on recuperation and truly serving as an inspiration to people, my family, and those who are standing by me in support," Sean articulated.
