Dipika Kakkar has been recovering after being diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. A few months ago, the 39 year old actress underwent surgery to remove a large tumor. Later, a cyst developed in her stomach, which was treated through a procedure in March this year.
Recently, her latest MRI scan has shown two new small cysts. This has raised some concern, but doctors have said that these cysts are very small and cannot be removed at this stage. They have advised regular monitoring to ensure there are no further complications.
In a vlog, Dipika and her husband Shoaib Ibrahim shared details about her health. Shoaib said, “In the MRI, two small cysts were seen. The cysts are so small that they wouldn’t have been seen in a CT scan, but since MRI is sensitive, they were spotted.”
Dipika explained the current situation and said, “They are very small now, so we cannot take any action on them for now. We will repeat this scan after a month. It has become like a routine now; we have to get scans done frequently. We have to keep a close watch; God forbid if anything is seen in the scans, we can immediately treat it, like we did with the cyst recently, through the process called RFA.”
Shoaib also shared that Dipika will soon begin immunotherapy as part of her treatment. According to doctors, she will need to visit the hospital every 20 to 21 days, and each session may take around five hours.
At the beginning of the vlog, Dipika mentioned that she felt very nervous before going for the MRI scan and ended up crying. She said that expressing her emotions helped her feel calmer before the procedure.
Overall, her treatment is ongoing, and regular medical checkups will be important in tracking her recovery and managing any further health concerns.
