Chhavi Mittal Opens Up About Her Cancer Surgery: I Didn't Want My Daughter To See Me In Pain
Chhavi Mittal recently opened up about her battle with cancer in an interview with ETimes TV. The actress shared details about her surgery and how she broke the news to her 3-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter about her diagnosis.
Chhavi shared, “There was no suspicion, no inkling. It was just a chest injury at the gym that led me to certain tests that discovered the lump. Thankfully, I had a set of mindful doctors around me. As for my surgery, it is done. In fact, multiple surgeries were done. The cancer was removed from the body. Now radiation therapy will begin; it will extend for 20 sessions. I have dodged chemotherapy and I am lucky.”
On being quizzed about what she told her son, the actress said, “He is too small, he is just 3. I told him that I have hurt my right side and he should be careful when he hugs me. He keeps asking me which is the left side before hugging now. He asked me to show him the scars and I did. He keeps asking me how I got hurt, though. He's made up a story that I got hurt while running and I go with his story.”
On
the
other
hand,
Chhavi
sat
her
9-year-old
daughter
down
and
told
her
that
she
is
very
unwell
whilst
adding
that
if
she
is
not
here
for
a
few
days,
then
she
should
not
worry
as
Nani
(maternal
grandmother)
would
be
coming
down
and
staying
with
her.
She
revealed
that
her
daughter
wanted
to
stay
in
the
hospital
to
look
after
her.
But
the
actress
didn’t
want
her
daughter
to
see
her
in
pain.
Chhavi also shed light on the healing process and said that her body is undergoing a lot but she is not letting the mind go through too much. The actress revealed that she resumed working for 15 days in between.
