Chhavi Mittal Post On Radiotherapy

The actor wrote in her post, “Just when I started feeling normal, a new journey begins. My radiotherapy starts today and I’ve been told to expect some side effects which I’m not comfortable with. I’ve been asked before by many if chemotherapy or radiotherapy is the patient’s choice. Well, technically you need to sign the consent form… But in all fairness, it’s your doctor who decides your line of treatment because he’s the expert. And his focus is on saving your life, not avoiding side effects.”

“But the side effects of radiation will have to spare me cause for me living is not just breathing, it’s breathing with happiness… And that means that I always want to feel whole. Thankfully my doctor gets that and he’s holding my hand through this every minute,” she further wrote.

She had shared a post four days earlier in which she spoke that she will be getting radiotherapy. The actor in the post mentioned how she is nervous for the treatment to begin and also spoke about the struggles she faces during recovery.

“Today is also the day I prep for the radiotherapy and I won’t deny I’m a bundle of nerves. Not for the prep but for the cycles to begin from Monday. To all my fellow cancer warriors, especially, the ones going through chemo… it’s not easy, but it’s also not the end. Hang in there. Let’s all come, see and conquer,” she wrote in her post.
