Television actress Dipika Kakar, who was diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer, recently underwent a major 14-hour surgery. In her first vlog since the operation, she confirmed that she is now “free from the tumour” and shared her emotional reaction when the doctor informed her and her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, about the diagnosis.
In her YouTube video, Dipika was heard saying, “Mujhe woh din hamesha yaad rahega, jab hum doctor ke paas gaye the to show him my CT scan. Tab tak AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein tumour marker test) ki report aa gayi thi. Shoaib ko uska result pata tha, lekin usne mujhe nahi bataya. Jab tak doctor report check kar rahe the, maine Shoaib se poocha result ke baare mein. He just looked at me and said, ‘Haan, usme gadbad hai.’ Maine turant kaha, ‘Mujhe report dikhao.’ Aur jab maine report dekhi, toh samjha ki thodi nahi, balki bohot zyada gadbad hai.”
