Popular television actress Dipika Kakar was diagnosed with a tennis ball-sized malignant tumour in her liver last year. She underwent surgery during which 22% of her liver was removed. On February 23, she underwent another surgery to remove a 13-mm cyst. After the surgery, her husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim, shared an update stating that Dipika was focusing on her health and resting. Now the actress has shared a few new health updates in her recent vlog.
What's Happening
- Shooting a recipe vlog-which was a first in a long time-Dipika Kakar shared with her fans how she was following a strict diet, experiencing loss of appetite and fatigue.
- She said, "I know it's important to rest. The days when I get tired, the fatigue is so much that I cannot even move. The days when I am not in the right zone mentally, I just cannot do anything. On the days I am fine, I like to do things that make me happy. Unless you are happy mentally, you won't be able to fight."
Dipika Kakar Sharing Her Status After 13-mm Cyst Removal Surgery
Speaking about her surgery on February 23, Dipika Kakar expressed how she was in a lot of pain.
She said, "The process went well, but last night we returned home. The entire procedure went smoothly. People prepare you that it might recur, but when it actually happens, the way it feels-it takes time to deal with it. It took me some time too. And it was so sudden because we found out and the doctor said, 'Let's get admitted on Monday.' Plus, in between, it was our anniversary."
After three days post-surgery, Dipika came back home from the hospital.
She also revealed details about the procedure she underwent. "This time, when I was going in for the procedure, I was very anxious. I was crying a lot. The doctors calmed me down. This time, the procedure wasn't in the OT; it was in the CT room. It's a process called RFA, where they burned my cyst, and because it was very small, we were able to do it this way. If it had been bigger, the procedure would have been more difficult."
Dipika thanked fans and family for their constant support in her hour of need. "I still feel pain in the area where it was done. It's a pulling pain when I move. This time, when I regained consciousness, I felt a lot of pain. When I came back to my ward, I read comments and found all of you praying for me-that gives a lot of strength. Whenever I read your comments, I am just in tears," Dipika signed off.
