Jakarta – The departure of Mpok ALPA comedian still leaves sorrow for friends. The story of the struggle of Mpok ALPA to face breast cancer was revealed from the narration of his assistant, Tika.
Tika said the disease was diagnosed when the comedian was pregnant.
“He has been since 4 months pregnant in a verdict with the doctor suffering from breast cancer,” Tika said when met at the Funeral Home in the Ciganjur area, South Jakarta, Friday (8/15/2025).
In fact, even before pregnancy the owner of Nina Carolina’s full name had already complained about a lump on her body.
“Actually, before he was pregnant before he knew. She was pregnant, she often complained, ‘Tika here I have a lump, huh’,” he said.
When sentenced to cancer, the doctor suggested Mpok ALPA undergoing chemotherapy despite being pregnant. The condition made him in a dilemma, especially before childbirth he was asked to choose between the safety of him or the baby.
“When he was convicted with the doctor he had to carry out the chemo in a condition of pregnancy he was confused, when he wanted to born he was told to choose the doctor, ‘Want to choose his child or mother’. He said ‘Congratulations my child’, he always said that,” explained Tika.
The chemotherapy that is lived in Malaysia makes the hair of Mpok Alangan fall out to bald. But he still tried to calm down.
“He runs the chemo he finished in Malaysia, finally it makes a hair loss, right, making it falling to the bald. He said that it was easy to tika if this could be prepared using a wig,” said Tika.
Despite often feeling pain while working, Mpok Alapan always tries to strengthen him.
“Whatever he felt when he was suddenly in pain, he suddenly felt ‘Oh God he was strong, oh my God, I was strong, but he always convinced himself I was strong, I was strong in my health’,” said Tika.
In front of the camera, Mpok ALPA still maintains his joy even though behind it hides pain.
“He must cover up all of that, in front of the camera must be cheerful,” he concluded.
