Jarwo Kwat recently revealed the condition of his friend, Nurul Qomar , who is currently being treated at Tangerang Regional Hospital. Qomar must undergo intensive care because his colon cancer has recurred. When visiting Qomar, Jarwo stated that his friend was in a weak condition and Jarwo Kwat in the Pondok Kelapa area, East Jakarta, Tuesday (7/1/2025) still needed a tool to eat.
"He is conscious, but because of the influence of the drugs, his speech is a bit unclear, he is weak," explained Jarwo Kwat in the Pondok Kelapa area, East Jakarta, on Tuesday (7/1/2025).
He added that for the past nine days, Qomar has been unable to eat through his mouth and has had to use a tube. Based on information from the family, Jarwo explained that the colon cancer that Qomar once suffered from has now spread to his liver.

Previously, Qomar had undergone surgery and was declared cured. However, the busyness in the Pilkada and the general election may be a factor affecting his current condition.
"Yes, the colon cancer spread to the liver. It had been operated on before, but maybe because of the busy regional elections or general elections, that's how it was," said Jarwo.

Although feeling sad to see Qomar's condition, who is usually cheerful, Jarwo remains optimistic that his friend will recover. He admires Qomar's fighting spirit which remains high despite facing this disease.
"Yes, we are sad too. But his fighting spirit to recover is extraordinary. He is not that depressed by his illness, instead he remains happy," said Jarwo.
For additional information, in 2021, Qomar revealed through his personal Instagram account that he was diagnosed with stage 4C colon cancer. This disease was detected after Qomar checked his health with a specialist doctor, and since then, he has routinely undergone chemotherapy as part of his treatment.
