‘Doctor Said I Had Only 30% Chances Of Survival’, Reveals Sonali Bendre
Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre is an inspiration for those battling with cancer. Sonali won the battle against high grade metastatic cancer after undergoing treatment in New York. The actress has now revealed that upon her arrival in New York the doctors had said that she had 30% chances of survival.
Sonali, in interaction with Rajeev Masand, shared that she was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Cancer. The actress further revealed that it was her husband Goldie Behl's idea to fly to New York for treatment, adding she was not at all interested to leave her family and home behind.
“It was my husband who dragged me there. I fought with him all the way like why are you doing this.. we have doctors here, why are you taking me away. My life, my home.. in three days, we literally just packed and left an I don't know what is happening why are we going through this.”
“But he was just quiet through the whole thing and just focussed. In the day, he was organising and in the night, because New York was awake, he was again organising.. So, I got him to actually crib about the whole thing on the flight. Through the flight, I cribbed. I was venting,” she shared.
Upon arrival in New York, the actress visited the doctors next day. Sonali said: Next day we go to the doctor and he looks at everything and we had sent all our tests and everything and he said it's the fourth stage and you have 30 per cent chance and I was like what.”
The actress, however, kept her strong and finally won the battle against the cancer setting the example for others.
