Ibinunyag ni Ruffa sa kanyang post na may prostate cancer ang kanyang ama at naoperahan na.
Malaki naman ang pasasalamat ni Ruffa sa Panginoon dahil sa tagumpay ang operasyon.
Kwento ni Ruffa sa kanyang post:
"The weeks leading up to my departure for the U.S. was tough. I experienced a tornado of emotions which I kept exceptionally private.
"This much I can share : Dad had an operation and it was a success. He has been cleared of prostate cancer. Thank you, Lord!
"Our family would like to thank ALL the doctors and nurses who took care of Dad at St. Luke’s Quezon City. Special mention to the BEST urologist and anesthesiologist, Dr. Steve & Joyce Lim. He is on the road to a full recovery thanks to your expertise and pag-aalaga.
"Sa mga nagdasal para kay Dad, maraming salamat. You know who you are.
"Sending LOVE to everyone who’s trying their best to heal from things they don’t discuss. Keep the faith, pray and stay strong.”
