SHE survived four major operations, six court cases and a swarm of young kids and teenagers in her old school.

But with a big dose of prayers and a sprinkling of humor, Sr. Mary Fidelis Arambulo now fights to survive the Big C. Her main weapons? Fruits and vegetables.

"Wala na akong headlights," cheerfully says the 65-year-old former principal who lost her left breast to cancer in 1984, and the right one in 2002.

Following her bout with cancer, Sister Arambulo turned to natural medicine and vegetarianism. She is now part of a nonprofit group advocating healthy living to lechon-loving Pinoys.

During the recent National Cancer Consciousness Week, the new Fruit and Veggie Friends Club vowed to help Filipinos attain better (and longer) lives through plant-based nutrition.
