MANILA, Philippines — Model Margo Midwinter had to be rushed to hospital early this week due to a blood infection that left her "unable to fully move," the former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate posted on Instagram on Friday.
"God gave me my biggest challenge so far in my life," said the 23-year-old Midwinter, who added that doctors also found a non-cancerous tumor in her liver.
"I woke up suddenly and was unable to fully move due to severe pain. After many tests it was found that I had a blood infection, okay right? Then the doctor also told me she found a liver tumor (something I didn't expect to hear at my young age).
"After days of worrying, praying and seeing my parents cry, I was told it's NOT cancerous. Here's a photo of Pam & I (my new friend I met sa hospital, ang bait nya and her family) — we are smiling because we are gonna have our IVs removed and be discharged.
"I'm grateful I had my parents here with me in Manila during these difficult few days, I don't know how I would have managed with out them. Now it's time to recover at home."
Midwinter was part of the 12th season of "Pinoy Big Brother" and was also an FHM cover girl. Her last public appearance was at this year's 10th Star Magic Ball held at the Makati Shangri-La last October 24.
