Sonali Bendre Shares She Had Low Survival Chance After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

In a recent interview, Sonali Bendre talked about her cancer diagnosis of 2018. She recalled that at the time, her odds of survival were quite low according to the doctors.

Sonali Bendre had treatment in the US after receiving a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2018. She has been urging women to get themselves screened for breast cancer ever since she fought the disease later. Bendre revealed in a recent interview that her chances of survival were just 30 percent and that her social media announcement of the diagnosis has led to a rise in the number of people being tested for the disease.

In 2018, Sonali Bendre tweeted about her diagnosis. She said, in a statement, "Life sometimes tosses you a curveball when you least expect it." I recently learned that I have high-grade cancer that has spread, which, to be honest, we did not expect. A minor ache prompted additional testing, which produced this surprise diagnosis. My family and close friends have rallied around me, providing the best support system that anyone can ask for. I am very blessed and thankful for each of them. "
