A TV actress named Dipika Kakar has shared her journey with liver cancer.
Doctors found a large tumor in her liver, and during surgery, they removed about 22% of her liver to get rid of it.
She explained that this tumor was the only place cancer was found.
Now, she is taking special medicine that works like a gentle chemotherapy for two years to make sure the cancer doesn't come back.
She gets regular check-ups with scans and blood tests to monitor her health.
Dipika mentioned that even her doctors were surprised by her diagnosis because she lives a healthy life.
She initially felt pain that she thought was due to acidity or pregnancy, but further tests revealed the tumor.
Her husband also shared that they are anxiously waiting for her latest test results.
Actress Dipika Kakar revealed that approximately 22% of her liver was removed during surgery to eliminate an 11-centimeter tumor.
She is currently undergoing a two-year course of oral targeted therapy as part of her post-surgery treatment.
Kakar undergoes regular monitoring through FAPI scans, blood tests, and tumor marker tests to ensure cancer does not return.
Doctors expressed surprise at her diagnosis due to her healthy lifestyle, suggesting potential toxicity as a possible but unconfirmed cause.
