Qomar is known to have undergone treatment at Tangerang Regional Hospital for recurrent colon cancer. The disease was first discovered to have entered an advanced stage in 2021.
According to the family, Qomar's colon cancer has spread to his liver, which has made his condition increasingly weak in recent times.
Jarwo, one of Qomar's close friends, confirmed that the disease had spread to his liver. "Yes, his colon cancer has spread to his liver. He had surgery before, but maybe because of the busy Pilkada or general election, that's how it is," said Jarwo.
