Chhavi Mittal is currently undergoing radiation therapy after being diagnosed with br*ast cancer. The actress is keeping her fans and followers updated with her social media shares which are also helping others to know more about br*ast cancer.
During a recent interview with BT, Chhavi talked about the radiation therapy that she is undergoing and shared, “For one, I get pain in the br*ast which keeps increasing as the day goes along. Two, I get tired very quickly; sometimes the fatigue is unbearable. Mornings are okay as I have rested in the night, but the issues get tougher towards evening. I can take a paracetamol tablet for the pain, but it really does not help much. I take the radiation therapy in the morning and head straight to my office. If I get unbearably tired, I rest in the office itself. Else, I go home. However, there are some days where I feel less tired; no need to head home early on those days.”
Talking about the precautions, the actress said, “Well, I can’t have sugar throughout my life. No milk and no dairy products forever, either. Just a bit of paneer is permitted. And, no red meat,” Chhavi informs, adding, “No swimming for maybe 2/3 months and no lifting any load. Running and skipping has been greenlit, just today only.”
Chhavi added, “Tomorrow is the last day of radiation therapy. Kal, thankfully it will be over. 19 are over, tomorrow is the 20th one. It doesn’t take too much time to take the radiation; it varies from patient to patient. Some people get a burning sensation while taking the radiation but luckily I did not.”
When asked about the scars that were visible on her pictures on Instagram, Chhavi said, “They will go away in a few weeks, I guess. They are mild.”
