Timeline
Six years after the original diagnosis, Díaz died on 4 October 2004 at Seton Medical Center in Daly City, California, at the age of 45.
In 1999, Stanford oncologist Dr George Fisher, declared she had been cured. When the cancer cells returned in May 2000, Rio travelled back to Stanford for an eight-hour surgical procedure and another round of chemotherapy sessions. Díaz stopped the sessions in 2002, citing her body's inability to cope further, but her physicians later that year said she had no recourse but to continue treatment.
She was elected vice-mayor of Pontevedra, Negros Occidental in the 1998 elections, while her husband won a seat in Congress. Díaz later became president of the vice-mayors' league of Negros Occidental.
During a routine checkup in December 1998, her American doctors informed her of a small growth in her left abdomen. After a six-hour surgery, they found a malignant tumour in its fourth stage, and Díaz was given three months to live. She underwent another operation, and received chemotherapy for three months.
Díaz began a relationship with musician Hajji Alejandro, and together they emigrated to Los Angeles, California, where they operated a small restaurant along Melrose Avenue. After separating from Alejandro, Díaz returned to the Philippines and resumed her career in entertainment. She co-hosted Eat Bulaga in 1991 and stayed for a couple of years before meeting Charlie Cojuangco on a blind date in 1993 and marrying him the following year. For the greater part of the 1990s, Díaz worked for television and starred in several films.
Born in Manila, Díaz was the youngest of twelve children born to Jaime Díaz and Teresa Aspillera. A ramp and commercial model, she was crowned Mutya ng Pilipinas in 1977 and won Fourth Runner-up in the Miss Asia Pageant that same year.
Rio Díaz-Cojuangco (born Rosario Aspillera Díaz; 14 August 1959 – 4 October 2004), was a Filipino beauty queen, television presenter, actress and politician. The sister of former Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Díaz, she was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer and died in the United States in 2004. She was an aunt of Georgina Wilson, through another sister Aurora who is Wilson's mother.
