Bharatiya Janata Party’s Chandigarh MP and actress Kirron Kher is suffering from multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, and is undergoing treatment in Mumbai, as per one of her party colleagues.
Chandigarh BJP president Arun Sood during a press conference on Wednesday, said the Kher was on the recovery path after her treatment for the disease started last year.
“She had suffered a broken left arm at her Chandigarh house on November 11 last year. After her medical tests at Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The disease had spread to her left arm and right shoulder. For treatment she had to go to Mumbai on December 4,” said Sood.
Stating that in the latest tests, the disease has receded from her arm and shoulder, Sood said, “Even though she is recovering after her four-month treatment and no longer admitted at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai, she has to visit the hospital regularly for treatment.”
Sood made this revelation about Kher after the opposition party Congress questioned her absence from Chandigarh during the Covid-19 outbreak.
