Dipika Kakar opens up about her immunotherapy treatment
Dipika, who has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer, recently underwent further medical evaluations after doctors discovered two small cysts during routine scans. Addressing concerns about her health, Shoaib Ibrahim had earlier clarified that she would not require another surgery at the moment and had instead begun immunotherapy treatment.
Speaking about her condition in the vlog, Dipika revealed that the last few days had been emotionally draining, especially due to her father-in-law’s hospitalization.
“I am undergoing treatment, and my immunotherapy sessions have already begun. You are aware of my father’s health situation, and thankfully, he is recovering day by day. That has brought immense relief to all of us,” she shared.
The former Celebrity MasterChef contestant further disclosed that she recently completed a session involving double immunotherapy. She explained that future treatments would continue through intravenous (IV) administration.
“So far, I haven’t faced any major side effects. I experienced some back pain and had a mild fever once, but nothing severe. My immunotherapy treatment will continue in the coming weeks,” Dipika said.
She also mentioned that doctors will closely monitor her recovery through regular blood work, tumor marker evaluations, scans, and other necessary medical tests.
Shoaib Ibrahim facing the toughest battle
During the vlog, Dipika spoke candidly about the emotional burden her husband has been carrying throughout this period. According to her, Shoaib has been trying to stay strong despite dealing with concerns about both her health and his father’s condition.
“I feel Shoaib is the one having the hardest time right now. He has been worried about my health for a long time, and with his father’s hospitalization, the pressure has increased even more. Despite everything, he is handling the situation with incredible strength,” she revealed.
While the family continues to navigate these challenges, Dipika’s update about her treatment progress and her father-in-law’s improving health has offered a sense of hope and relief to their fans and well-wishers.
