Cory Aquino going home after successful surgery

MANILA, Philippines - Former President Corazon Aquino was set to be discharged from Makati Medical Center on Thursday after undergoing a surgery three days ago, her son, Senator Benigno Simeon “Noynoy" Aquino III, said.

“She is recuperating well after the surgery and today she will be discharged from the hospital," Senator Aquino said in a text message to reporters.

Mrs. Aquino underwent operation Monday to remove a part of her colon which was affected with cancer.

Senator Aquino said his mother had been advised by her doctors to take adequate rest for full recovery after the procedure.

“Thank you for all the support and prayers for our mother. May we ask for your continuous prayers as she has likewise been praying for you," the senator said.

He said her mother was very appreciative for the excellent care she has received from her doctors as well as the nurses and employees of Makati Medical Center. - Amita Legaspi, GMANews.TV
