Former Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu announced on Thursday that his wife, former MLA Navjot Kaur Sidhu, has been declared cancer-free. Speaking at a press conference at their Amritsar residence, he revealed that she had overcome stage 4 cancer despite being given only a 3% chance of survival.

Navjot Kaur, who had been battling cancer for over a year, faced the disease with determination. Sidhu recalled how doctors had initially given little hope during the third stage of her treatment. “Her cancer came back after our son’s marriage, which she insisted on because she doubted her survival. But she never lost hope and faced cancer bravely,” he said.

Sidhu highlighted that his wife received most of her treatment at government hospitals, including Government Rajendra Medical College in Patiala, spending only a few lakhs. “She defeated cancer not because we had money but because she was disciplined and followed a strict routine. Cancer can be treated effectively even at government hospitals,” he emphasised.

The couple shared details of Navjot Kaur’s disciplined lifestyle during her recovery. Her daily routine included lemon water, raw turmeric, apple cider vinegar, neem leaves, and tulsi. Sour fruits and juices made from pumpkin, pomegranate, amla, beetroot, and walnuts were integral to her diet. She also consumed anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer foods, with cooking restricted to coconut oil, cold-pressed oils, or almond oil. Her morning tea featured spices like cinnamon, cloves, jaggery, and cardamom.

Sidhu expressed his gratitude and disbelief at her recovery, urging others to adopt healthy lifestyles to combat serious illnesses like cancer and fatty liver disease. “Cancer can be defeated with discipline, courage, and a healthy lifestyle,” he said, hoping their journey would inspire others.
