Ate Gay says ongoing cancer treatment is showing positive results

Comedian says CyberKnife therapy shows progress, thanks supporters amid ongoing fight.

Comedian and television personality Ate Gay has given supporters an encouraging update on her ongoing battle with cancer, revealing that she is responding well to treatment while clarifying that she has not yet been declared cancer-free.

In separate posts on her personal Facebook account, Ate Gay, whose real name is Gil Aducal Morales, expressed gratitude after seeing improvements following her CyberKnife treatment at Asian Hospital.

“Napakagaling ng CyberKnife at ng doctor ko sa Asian Hospital… ambilis maghilom ng bukol ko oh… 1 session pa lang yan… thank u Lord,” she wrote, adding that she was returning for her second treatment session.

A day earlier, Ate Gay reminded followers that her fight against cancer is still ongoing.

“Di pa po ako cancer free… nagsa-CyberKnife pa po ako at immunotherapy… pero malakas na ako at nagkakalaman na ang aking pangangatawan,” she shared.

She also praised the treatment, saying it dramatically reduced the number of radiation sessions she needed.

“Ang bongga ng CyberKnife kasi ang 35 times kong radiation, sa kanya 5 times lang,” she wrote.

CyberKnife is a non-invasive, painless radiation treatment that uses a robotic arm to deliver highly focused, high-dose radiation beams directly to tumors anywhere in the body. Despite its name, it involves no actual knives, surgery, incisions, or anesthesia. Instead, it is an advanced form of stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy that continuously tracks a tumor’s position in real time—even as a patient breathes or moves naturally—allowing doctors to target cancer cells with sub-millimeter precision while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

One of its biggest advantages over conventional radiation therapy is that treatment can often be completed in just one to five sessions over one to two weeks, compared with several weeks of daily radiation. Because it is non-surgical, patients typically undergo the procedure on an outpatient basis, require little to no recovery time, and can resume normal activities shortly afterward. CyberKnife is commonly used to treat tumors in the brain, spine, lungs, prostate, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and other parts of the body, particularly in patients whose tumors are difficult to operate on.

Beyond sharing her medical progress, Ate Gay thanked God for giving her strength and expressed gratitude to her doctors, family, friends, and supporters who have stood by her throughout her cancer journey.

She ended her message by thanking her “mga anghel” for their continued guidance and prayers, saying she remains grateful for each day of life.

The posts drew an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities, many offering prayers and words of encouragement while celebrating the positive developments in her treatment.
