Nafisa Ali on cancer diagnosis

Nafisa Ali Sodhi was diagnosed with stage 3 peritoneal and ovarian cancer in November 2018 and later went into remission. However, the illness returned last year.

During a conversation with Fit Tak, Nafisa opened up about the recurrence of peritoneal and ovarian cancer. She shared, “I knew my stomach pain was cancer, but doctors were not able to diagnose and this led to stage 4. I came back to Delhi after two months, and I told my doctor, ‘I don’t agree with your diagnosis. There has to be something wrong with me’.”

The actor further added, “I became very upset. I actually cried in front of the doctor and said, ‘I am the last person who goes to the doctor, and if I have come repeatedly, you have to take it seriously. I told the doctor, ‘I’ve got appendicitis, and all of you have diagnosed me wrong.’ That’s when the doctors finally sat up and took notice.”
