The actress says she had a lipoma removed from the back of her neck
MANILA, Philippines – Sharon Cuneta is recovering, following surgery on Monday, April 2, for the removal of a lipoma in her nape.
According to WebMD, a lipoma "happens when a lump of fat starts to grow in the soft tissue of your body. Though they’re classified as tumors, they’re usually harmless."
Sharon spoke about the surgery on Tuesday, April 3 on Instagram: "Mind and heart are resting. Recovering well. Also, had surgery yesterday. Had a lipoma pala on my batok (nape), and my yaya assistant had been noticing it for a while hanggang lumaki na (until it grew so big) that they finally told me!" Sharon wrote.
The actress and The Voice of the Philippines coach also said that the removed mass is undergoing a biopsy but she's not scared of the results. She's still feeling the effects of the anaesthesia after the surgery, so she feels drowsy and a bit sore.
She added: "Please pray for me. [I have a] taping this week so I have to get all the rest I can and pray I recover quickly. Love you guys. Don't worry about me. God bless you. Sweet dreams."

The ombudsman said Ormoc qualified for a level 1 certification after passing 53 of the 87 prescribed standards. Mayor Richard Gomez said he is happy with the certification, noting that it has always been his goal to make Ormoc business-friendly and speed up the processing of business permits and licenses. Eduardo Kangleon, Ombudsman-Western Visayas acting director, said a blue certification means an office is implementing and maintaining a system that conforms to the standards of doing business with government. The certification was based on the ombudsman’s assessment since January, Vincent Emas of the city administrator’s office said. Kangleon said they also interviewed businessmen on how the BPLO deals with the renewal of their business permits and addresses their other concerns. The ombudsman will confer the certification after the flag ceremony on Monday.

Sharon met senator Kiko Pangilinan, a lawyer and brother of Angeli and Anthony Pangilinan, in 1994. They married in a private ceremony in 1996. They have 3 daughters, KC, whom Kiko adopted, and Frankie and Miel. They adopted a son, Miguel, whom they introduced to the public back in 2012.
Their relationship has been tested many times with accusations of cheating, and with Kiko allegedly fathering an illegitimate child. In January of this year, during her birthday celebration on ASAP, Sharon thanked Kiko for staying with her after she admitted that their marriage almost ended in 2017.
"To Kiko, thank you. We've been through so much. We almost lost each other last year,” she said.
She defended Kiko from accusations about his infidelity, saying that she always trusted her husband.
"He has never cheated on me. I have smarts, I have my ever-reliable intuition (I am VERY sensitive to these things), I have all the means. And there are private investigators as well as social media and all kinds of gadgets available now. No one has ever come forwardwith solid proof even after my offer of P10 M to anyone who could give me proof. Later, even raised my "reward" to P30 M. Wala pa rin (Nothing came of it). Oh please. I'm too special for my husband to look elsewhere."
Her love life may have gone through ups and downs but, like the fighter she is, Sharon is definitely a happy woman with the man she loves. – Rappler.com
