Radio personality Nicole Hyala recently shared a deeply personal update with her followers: she has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. In a message marked by honesty, grace, and unwavering faith, she opened up about this unexpected chapter in her life—not with fear, but with calm determination.

“So… I just found out I have thyroid cancer,” she wrote, followed by a heartbreak emoji. But almost immediately, she reassured her audience: “And surprisingly, I am calm.” Known for her candid and grounded style, Nicole didn’t shy away from the reality of her diagnosis, but she placed it in perspective. As she explained, thyroid cancer is often referred to as the “friendliest” cancer—a small consolation that she meets with courage.

Nicole's resilience shines through as she reflects on past battles that shaped her. “I’ve faced battles that broke me, seasons that nearly crushed me,” she wrote. “But here I am still standing, still smiling, still kumikinang.” It’s a sentiment that reflects not just survival, but transformation.

Her post was more than just a health update; it was a testament to the power of faith. Nicole emphasized that while this diagnosis wasn’t part of her plan, she trusts that it’s part of God’s. “He’s walked with me through deeper valleys before, so I trust He’ll walk me through this too.”

With her signature humor still intact, she ended her message with a powerful line that’s as bold as it is hopeful:

“Let’s do this, thyroid cancer. You picked the wrong girl. Mali ka ng kinalaban. Wag ako. Hahahahaha!”

In facing this new battle, Nicole Hyala reminds us what true strength looks like—faith-filled, honest, and still radiating light.
