RANCAH POST – Taylor Swift, bintang pop terkenal yang telah memiliki reputasi baik di antara fans-nya, mengungkapkan bahwa ibunya Andrea telah didiagnosis kanker pada hari Kamis kemarin.
Dalam sebuah curhatan kepada fans di halaman Tumblr nya, Taylor Swift mengatakan bahwa sang penyanyi meminta ibunya untuk melakukan diskrining terhadap masalah kesehatan pada saat Natal, setelah menjalani tes barulah diketahui sang ibunda didiagnosis kanker.
Berikut kutipan dari halaman Tumblr resmi milik Taylor Swift.
Just so you know…
Hey guys,
I’m writing to you with an update I wish I wasn’t giving you, but it’s important and I’m used to sharing important events in my life with you. Usually when things happen to me, I process them and then write music about how I feel, and you hear it much later. This is something my family and I thought you should know about now.
For Christmas this year, I asked my mom that one of her gifts to me be her going to the doctor to get screened for any health issues, just to ease some worries of mine. She agreed, and went in to get checked. There were no red flags and she felt perfectly fine, but she did it just to get me and my brother off her case about it.
The results came in, and I’m saddened to tell you that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer. I’d like to keep the details of her condition and treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know.
She wanted you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor, and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle… Or peace of mind in knowing that they’re healthy and there’s nothing to worry about. She wanted you to know why she may not be at as many shows this tour. She’s got an important battle to fight.
Thank you for caring about my family so much that she would want me to share this information with you.
I hope and pray that you never get news like this.Love you.
Taylor
Swift juga mengatakan sebelum ibunya diperiksa, namun tidak ada bendera merah.
“Tidak ada bendera merah dan dia merasa baik-baik saja, namun dia melakukannya hanya untuk memastikan saya dan kakak saya tentang hal itu,” tulis Swift.
Swift mengatakan ibunya ingin dia berbagi informasi ini dengan penggemar sebagai pengingat akan diperiksa.
Taylor Swift tidak mengungkapkan kanker apa yang diidap ibunya, namun ia menyatakan, “Saya ingin menjaga rincian kondisi dan rencana pengobatan secara privat.”
Mendengar kabar ini, sontak saja para Swifties atau fans memberikan dukungan agar keluarga Taylor kuat di tengah situasi yang mereka alama saat ini, hashtag ‘#PrayForMamaSwift’ mulai menjadi trending topik di Twitter sejak Kamis.
