The famous Indian television actress Chhavi Mittal, who is also the co-founder of Shitty Ideas Trending (SIT) was diagnosed with breast cancer. She shared the news with her friends and followers on Instagram. Post that she also revealed the entire story, how she came across it in the early stage itself.
As Chhavi says, she visited the doctor for some injury which she got during her workout, for which she was suggested for an MRI Scan. During the scan, they came across this lump in her breast. As per the reports and also Chhavi, it was a very recent once because she has never felt it before. Her Radiologist suggested a biopsy. Although she was not okay with it, very puzzled, full of fear, on the other hand, she also thanked her, for convincing her and taking the right decision at the right time.
After a long wait on this Monday, 18th April, she got her final reports and got a call from her doctor to come over and discuss. She finally came to know that yes, she is having breast cancer. It was not at all easy for her at the first instance to take that. But although she being a strong woman says, now that she has already been diagnosed with a problem, so running away or escapism with not help her anyways. Rather she prefers to stand strong and fight against and come out of it as soon as possible. Instead of cribbing, it’s better to face it boldly and fight against it. After the trauma, she spoke to multiple people, the breast cancer fighters, and survivors, the best thing she diagnosed about the whole situation, is that she is being diagnosed at a very early stage, in which the survival rate is a hundred percent.
Her treatment will start next week, on the first place, she will go through a pet scan of the entire body followed by a Radiology treatment. Chemotherapy will be suggested or not, she will come to know to post her Radiology treatment. As per doctors she can lead a very normal life, post her treatment and recovery.
She has two children – a daughter of 9 years old Areeza and a son of 3 years old Arham. She made her daughter understand the whole scenario and situation as she is grown up now to understand and face it. Her mother will be there to support the children and the family. When she on the other side can calmly take her treatment and fight the battle. She also adds that she is blessed to have such a supporting husband too.
Her mother on the other is not okay to share the story of her disease on social media in such a way. But she makes her understand that why not, when Chhavi can share my achievements with them, then why not this. Maybe she can inspire someone and make life comfortable for them. Sharing her pros and cons can help anyone. She also adds to have a regular scan after the 40s for women. To be aware of the fact that what is happening inside. She also adds as she is not having any breast cancer history in her family, yet she came across it even after being such fit and healthy. The only reason for sharing the entire story is to educate people and make them more aware and conscious of their health.
Let’s pledge to be more healthy and pray for her speedy recovery.
