Nunung Reveals the Pain of Chemotherapy Effects, Remembers the Struggle of Mpok Alpa

As a cancer survivor, comedian Nunung Srimulat deeply understands the heavy struggles that her friend, Mpok Alpa, had to go through. She also shared her personal experience during chemotherapy, which she described as feeling extraordinarily painful.

According to Nunung, the effects of chemotherapy can vary from person to person. However, drastic physical changes such as hair loss and blackened nails are common occurrences.

"All of it has fallen out, you know, Sir. Eyebrows, and then what else, eyelashes. It's bald, I can't even keep a single strand," Nunung explained when met in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, Tuesday (19/8/2025).

"The nails have turned black like that. Sometimes, there are hands that can't take it, and their hands can turn black and blue like that," she added.

At the time when some cancer patients experience severe nausea during chemotherapy, Nunung admitted that the effects she felt were more focused on her bones. The pain was even difficult to describe.

"For me, I don't feel nauseous, but back then my bones felt like they were all coming apart. It hurt a lot," she recalled.

She stated that the late one also felt similar pain and did not experience nausea. For her, the late one's spirit to keep working amidst the pain was proof of her greatness.

"She also said that she didn't feel nauseous, she just felt pain. The attacks varied. There were bones, there was nausea, there was this, there was that. Like that," she explained.

Furthermore, Nunung explained that cancer treatment cannot be delayed. The process of surgery and chemotherapy must go hand in hand for optimal results.

"Yes, because cancer cannot be delayed. If, even if cancer is treated with chemotherapy alone without surgery, that's really reckless," she said.

Now, she can only be grateful because her friend has been freed from all that pain.

"Pok (Mpok Alpa) felt a lot of pain. That's why now Pok no longer feels pain, Pok is happy in heaven," Nunung concluded.
