Tollywood actress and model, Hamsa Nandini who has made special appearances in movies like Naa Ishtam, Mirchi, Bhai, Srirastu Subhamastu among others have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. In a long post on Instagram, Hamsa opened up on going through 9 cycles of Chemotherapy with 7 more to go. She also shared about her fight and fears.
Sharing about knowing of diagnosed with Cancer for the first time, Hamsa wrote, "One morning 4 months ago, I felt a lump in my breast and the trauma of my mother, whom I lost to cancer came out gushing. Within a few hours, I rushed to a Mammography Centre for my very first mammogram. I was immediately asked to meet a Surgical Oncologist to discuss the type of biopsy that needed to be carried out. My fears were confirmed. I was diagnosed with a Grade III Invasive Carcinoma (breast cancer), and the hype ensued; pangs of trauma from my mother's battle with cancer drove me into a volley of waking nightmares. We all have such grand plans for our lives; as for mine, no number of adjustments seemed enough to accommodate the malady that became a proverbial tumour of my precious time."
However, after doing further reports, the actress was tested positive for BRCA1. Revealing on this, she further wrote, "The relief was short-lived as I tested positive for BRCA1 (Hereditary Breast Cancer). This means that I have a genetic mutation that almost guarantees that I would have a 70% chance of another Breast Cancer and a 45% chance of Ovarian Cancer throughout my life. The only way to mitigate the risk is through some very extensive prophylactic surgeries which I need to undergo before I can claim Victory. Currently, I have already undergone 9 cycles of Chemotherapy with 7 more to go."
