One of our Hive family is now made rest by God 😭
Jerick Ternida was a professional bodybuilder, he is Musclemania Universe Middleweight & Over-All Champion 2 x NPC Champion 3 x Musclemania World Division Champion 8 x Mr. Philippines.
I can describe Jerick as friendly, cheerful, full of a sense of humor, funny, loves basketball, and really like Lebron James.
We are shocked to know that Jerick died because of cancer.
The Cause of Death
The cause of the death is Angiosarcoma Cancer according to his wife's post on Facebook.
It was posted on the Filipino dialect which I translate
Brief information on the health condition of my husband Jerick Ternida before we found out that the flesh on his back was cancer (anjosarcoma). That picture was taken last February 2022. I was worried because he already had a red spot and his size was abnormal, so we immediately sought a specialist doctor for the tumor. I just went back 2-3 years ago, he had a small lump. But we weren't bothered because there was no bait and we only thought it was muscle. It is even chirofractor to shrink. He became even more visible last year 2021 because he started conditioning (in prep for sea games) so he lost fats behind him. First consult with doctor says doc might lymphoma. The (first) biopsy came out, suspected hemanjoma but further tests (biopsy) are needed to make sure. After the first operation, the next day, he had bleeding, so, I rushed him to the hospital again. 2nd operation, those blood clots were removed. We got his 2nd biopsy last week of May. Result is positive/Cancer (ANJOSARCOMA)
June 1 3rd operation, Doc took that big to make sure nothing was left behind. We advise to see an oncologist for chemo or radiation. July 14 we got the result of the CT scan, we found small lumps in the lungs, liver and spine where the lump was removed. He is in stage 4. July 16 we are ready to schedule for chemo so we were at clinica antipolo yesterday. Suddenly he felt pain in the abdomen, he thought it was just acid reflux but he collapsed standing up to go to CR. He was taken to the emergency room and there he struggled. His pulse was weak, his BP was low, he also lost his heartbeat. He survived 3 times but that was how fast it happened yesterday. The doc said that the cancer had spread so it was difficult to breathe. Supected, maybe he has something in his brain, but he can't because he did a CT scan of his brain in his state yesterday. He was not really told about his true condition. Even though he is in stage 4, during the past 4 yrs he didn't really feel any symptoms so you can see that he is always happy and energetic. So he also really wants to get better in the alternative or conventional way. He also doesn't want to share because he doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. Jerick is a fighter and he has great faith in GOD. Many thanks to all who responded. I can read all your messages and I'm crying because of the number of people who love Jerick. He is very kind. So it's sad, thank God, and he didn't suffer for a long time.
For those who want to see Jerick, his remains are here at the LOYOLA MEMORIAL CHAPEL Taytay, Rizal
Jerick is a good friend, a coach, and most importantly our beloved brother in Christ. You will be missed brother Jerick. See you in 1,000 years reign of Christ, God willing 😭
