Lisa Ray Shares It Was Very Difficult When Her Cancer Relapsed A Month After Her Wedding

Lisa Ray On Her Cancer Relapsing A Month After Her Wedding

She said, "I relapsed once. This is something that I have not spoken about extensively. It happened just a month after getting married. That was a really difficult time. I was actually hiding that secret from my husband. I thought I just have to get through the shaadi and then I will figure out what to do. So, that was a real low, because the first time I was dealing with cancer, I was single."

Talking about how difficult the experience of a relapse was, Lisa recounted, "I had this beautiful man who had just become my husband and consented to getting married to this woman with this fatal disease, and the first piece of news that I had to share with him was, 'Baby, thanks for marrying me. By the way, I probably have to go back on treatment.' That was very difficult but at the same time, I took that as a signal that there was some piece of the puzzle that was missing in terms of the healing journey. So right after that, I started incorporating a lot of nutrition and holistic healing. Ironically, within three months of changing my diet radically, I was in remission."

She admitted to Kareena that she was in denial of the symptoms when she started experiencing them again. It was only after she couldn't get up one day after a yoga class, she realized that she had to get herself checked up.

Lisa was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of white blood cells, in June 2009. She married Jason Dehni in February 2012.
