Rakesh
Roshan
Opens
Up
About
His
Cancer
Diagnosis
A
Spotboye
report
quoted
Roshan
Sr.
as
saying, "It
all
began
with
a
blister
which
refused
to
go
despite
using
several
applications
of
prescriptions
from
my
family
doctor.
It
was
a
small
one
-
no
pain,
no
itching.
One
day,
I
had
gone
to
meet
a
friend
of
mine
in
Hinduja
Hospital.
While
walking
out,
I
just
saw
a
board
of
an
ENT
surgeon
outside
his
cabin.
I
met
him
impromptu
and
he
advised
me
biopsy.
I
don't
know
why
but
I
had
a
gut
right
from
the
beginning
that
I
have
contracted
cancer.
I
was
at
Hrithik's
place
when
I
got
a
call
that
I
had
tested
positive
in
biopsy.
It
was
Dec
15
(2018),
I
clearly
remember."
Hrithik
Roshan's
Reaction
"As
I
said,
these
things
are
not
new
for
us.
So,
we
address
these
issues
and
go
all
out
to
rectify
them.
Never
get
into
a
depression.
Live
life.
Cancer
is
just
a
big
name,"
Rakesh
Roshan
revealed
when
asked
about
Hrithik's
reaction
to
his
diagnosis.
Rakesh
Roshan
Admits
He
Was
Scared
"I
got
a
bit
scared
when
I
was
told
that
my
tongue
may
have
to
undergo
a
cut
and
do
some
grafting.
I
said
‘I
don't
want
to
do
all
this.' Tongue
is
the
worst
place
to
have
cancer.
You
may
not
be
able
to
drink
water,
coffee,
tea.
Even
taste
buds
change
and
things
may
not
taste
to
you
as
they
should.
I
went
through
those
hassles
for
2-3
months.
I
lost
10
kg
but
have
regained
3
kg
now,
I
had
become
weak
because
in
cancer
treatment,
your
good
cells
also
tend
to
die.
Anyway
now,
I
am
much,
much
better.
I
have
started
gym
90
minutes
every
day.
My
personal
trainer
comes
home,
my
stamina
is
back-
but
yes,
it
will
take
me
another
6
months
to
be
fully
fit."

Roshan
On
What
Kept
Him
Going
In
Tough
Times
"3
weeks
later
my
chemotherapy
sessions
began
at
Kokilaben
Hospital,
they
used
to
take
about
4-5
hours.
The
surgery
was
conducted
at
HN
Reliance
Foundation
Hospital
(earlier,
Harkisandas).
They
gave
me
Cisplatin.
Normally
Cisplatin
is
given
40
but
I
was
given
100.
Even
my
radiations
were
increased
from
60
to
67.
Doctors
told
me
that
I
have
lot
of
will
power.
I
have
had
my
share
of
hardships,
In
fact,
we
all
in
my
family
have
undergone
health
issues.
My
wife
was
unwell
in
between.
My
father-in-law
was
indisposed.
Sunaina
had
cancer,
Hrithik
underwent
a
brain
surgery.
I
used
to
feel
dizzy
at
times
but
I
never
sat
on
it.
I
am
never
the
one
to
complain.
I
am
not
a
cynical
or
pessimistic
person.
I
have
been
lucky
also.
Kaho
Na
Pyaar
Hai
had
just
released.
I
casually
underwent
an
ECG
and
learned
in
the
nick
of
time
that
I
had
blockage
in
my
arteries.
God
has
been
kind
to
me.
Yes,
I
have
had
my
share
of
hardships
but
I
have
come
out
of
everything.
I
never
give
up."
