Kapanlagi.com - Babe Cabita revealed that he has a rare disease called aplastic anemia. Because of this disease, he was hospitalized for two weeks and took a three-month break from work.
When he was first taken to the hospital in June, Babe was initially diagnosed with dengue fever. However, after a series of examinations, it was found that he had aplastic anemia.
"When I was brought to the emergency room, I was diagnosed with dengue fever. The doctor then suspected that dengue fever caused a decrease in platelets, but in my case, everything dropped. The leukocytes dropped and the hemoglobin dropped to six. Finally, a bone marrow aspiration was performed and aplastic anemia was diagnosed," Babe said when met in the Kapten Tendean area, South Jakarta, on Monday (4/8/2023).
1. Request for Help from Kaesang's Right Hand
While being treated, Babe Cabita had difficulty obtaining a bag of platelets. To obtain it, he had to ask for help from Kaesang Pangarep's right hand.
"It turns out that PMI has its own regions. Yesterday, when I was being treated in South Jakarta, the bags were gone. In Central Jakarta, they were also gone. Because what I was looking for was not just blood but platelets, it was difficult. I asked for help from his right hand (Kaesang), Ari. Thankfully, with his assistance, I got it," said Babe.
2. Possibility of Stopping Medication
To fully recover, Babe Cabita can undergo a bone marrow transplant in Singapore. However, for now, he is only taking medication three times a day.
"For now, I'm using medication from a hematologist. Currently, I take it three times a day. If it works well, it will be reduced to twice a day or even once a day," said Babe.
"There is a possibility of stopping the medication if the response in his body is good. He has been taking the medication for only the first three months, and it's safe," added Fati Indraloka on the same occasion.
