Dipika Kakar worried her fans after she revealed her diagnosis of stage two liver cancer. She recently underwent a 14-hour-long surgery and later made her first appearance in the vlog with her husband Shoaib Ibrahim. Dipika, who became emotional while talking about her health, thanked her fans for their constant love and support in the tough times.
While talking about her health and surgery, Dipika said in the vlog, “Bas iss waqt itna hi bolungi — aap logon ne bohot duaein ki hain, uske liye dil se thank you. Hospital mein bhi staff, nurses, alag-alag jagahon se aake bol rahe the, ‘Ma’am, aap theek ho jaoge.’ Dusre patients ke relatives bhi bol rahe the, ‘Hum aapke liye pray kar rahe the.’ Unke apne bachhe, father hain, lekin phir bhi woh mere liye dua kar rahe the. Yeh saari cheezein bohot maayne rakhti hain. I am feeling much better. Bohot achhe se recovery ho rahi hai. Main ab kaafi better hoon.” (I am extremely thankful to you all for keeping me in your prayers and thoughts. The nurses were also extremely kind and positive. Several others, family members of other patients, were so nice and kind to me. I am feeling much much better).
Shoaib also kept their fans updated about Dipika’s well being. He said, “Her tumour was taken out nicely. The gall bladder was also taken out after surgery because of a stone. Because the liver had a tumour, some portion, a small percentage of it, was also cut. There is nothing to stress about it since the liver is an organ that regenerates itself.”
Dipika shared the news of his diagnosis via Instagram post. She wrote, “As you all are aware last few weeks have been quite difficult for us… walking into the hospital for a pain in the upper area of my stomach… and then finding out its a tennis ball size tumour in the liver and then Finding out that the tumour is Second stage Malignant (Cancerous) … it has been one of the most difficult time we have seen, experienced!”
