Shoaib says in the vlog, “We went for an MRI last Monday, since then hospital visits were frequent because in the MRI two small cysts were seen. The cysts are so small that they wouldn’t have been seen in a CT scan, but since MRI is sensitive, they were spotted.”
Dipika Kakar also added, “They are very small now, so we cannot take any action on them for now. We will repeat this scan after a month. It has become like a routine now; we have to get scans done frequently. We have to keep a close watch; God forbid if anything is seen in the scans, we can immediately treat it, like we did with the cyst recently.”
In May last year, Dipika Kakkar was diagnosed with a tennis ball-sized tumor in her liver, and she underwent surgery for the same. In March this year, a cyst reoccurred, which was also operated on.
Dipika’s immunotherapy to start soon
Shoaib also revealed that Dipika’s immunotherapy will start this week. He said, “The doctors have said they will also monitor this, and when they feel it can be treated, we will remove it. From this week, Dipika’s immunotherapy will start. Many doctors have recommended it; we will have to go to the hospital every 20 days, and each visit will last 4-5 hours. At the moment its not very serious. If we have to treat it after a month, the same process will be followed. What has happened, has happened; there is nothing we can do about it. We are taking this in a healthy way.”Son getting neglected
Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim also shared how the sickness has impacted their personal lives and has taken a toll, adding that her son Ruhaan is getting neglected. She shared, “We have been busy the last few days, and we can see that Ruhaan is noticing that we cannot give him too much time. He has been showing us anger, and he behaves stubbornly in front of us, to get our attention. It’s important to give him love at this time.”Shoaib also added, “We are rushing home right now since Ruhaan has been crying, missing us. I wasn’t able to put up any vlogs last week since there were too many doctor visits.” Dipika also added, “After an entire day of hospital visits, the body gets tired. You are also not in that headspace to think about anything else when all of this is happening. Your surroundings need to be happy.”
Further talking about Dipika Kakar’s health, Shoaib said, “The biggest fear I had was that the scans should be done in one visit because usually Dipika has a history of not completing an MRI in a single go. Dipika has lost two kgs over the last month. She has been on a strict diet. It was important for her to change her lifestyle. She has changed it by 75-80 percent. We don’t reveal the diet she is following, because you need to do this under a doctor’s guidance. Please consult your doctor always. We can share basic things like quit sugar, bakery items, etc, but please don’t follow us blindly.”
