Kapanlagi.com - The breast cancer that claimed the life of comedian Mpok Alpa turns out to be a disease that did not come out of nowhere. Her husband, Adji Darmaji, revealed a fact that the disease is strongly suspected to stem from genetic or hereditary factors in the family.
According to Adji, the doctor who treated Mpok Alpa diagnosed that there is a genetic factor from the late mother. Several other family members also have a history of similar diseases, although not as severe as what Mpok Alpa experienced.
"Oh yes, so the deceased was diagnosed with a genetic condition from her mother; a niece also had the same issue and underwent four surgeries but is not active," Adji stated when met at the funeral home on Saturday (16/8/2025).
1. Cancer Cells Grow Rapidly
Even though there is a family history, cancer cells in other relatives tend to be inactive and do not develop as quickly as those experienced by Mpok Alpa. This makes Mpok Alpa's struggle feel heavier because her cancer cells are growing very rapidly.
This fact seems to answer the question of why Mpok Alpa could contract such a malignant disease, even though she is known to lead a fairly healthy lifestyle. Her husband emphasizes that Mpok Alpa is not careless when it comes to food.
"Her lifestyle and food choices are also not arbitrary because she rarely eats, she eats just enough," he explained.
2. Selective Food Choices
Mpok Alpa is very aware that her body easily "blooms" or gains weight if she eats too much. Therefore, she is always selective in choosing her daily food intake.
"If I eat a lot, I quickly gain weight, so I choose my food carefully, and I don’t drink iced water. If I drink, I choose one with good pH. As for food, I keep it healthy and do not eat arbitrary foods," Adji explained.
3. Favorite Food of the Late
The only "weakness" of Mpok Alpa in culinary matters is jengkol. This food has become her favorite that is hard to resist. "Jengkol is definitely number one," she said.
Besides food, Mpok Alpa also loves snacking on chocolate. However, overall, her lifestyle can be considered very regular and healthy. "She mostly snacks on chocolate," said Adji.
