Mumbai: Actress Rozlyn Khan, who is well-known for her efforts to raise awareness of breast cancer, has talked about the negative consequences of chemotherapy and the harm that may be done to a person fighting for life.
Rozlyn, who has her tale to share about her battle with cancer, was admitted to the hospital lately due to acquired platelet function abnormalities. She also discovered that her left hand was too weak to take her blood pressure during this period.
Speaking about the same, Rozlyn said: “We all breast cancer survivors, who have gone through surgery with lymph nodes dissection, have weak hands. Most of the advanced stage breast cancer survivor celebrities have gone through it, but are hiding it or maybe filtering it to make others feel good about them.”
“This weak hand is supposed to be saved from pricks – be it a blood test or IV line, and even blood pressure can’t be checked from that hand to avoid infection or lymphedema,” she shared.
Celebrities like Tahira Kashyap, Sonali Bendre, Mahima Chaudhry, and others have emerged as victors in their cancer journey. Most recently, Hina Khan has embarked on her battle with this terrifying disease and is undergoing chemotherapy. Their bravery and resilience serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for many.
Rozlyn is resolute in her stance that celebrities should reveal the side effects and damages they have suffered during their battle for survival. This, she asserts, is crucial in creating awareness and preparing people for the harsh realities of cancer treatment.
She added: “I have been vocal about everything during my cancer journey. By doing so, if I can create awareness that is much more important than being seen as superhuman. We all have bad days, we all have tough times, and we cry while dealing with cancer or even living with the fear of relapse.”
On the work front, Rozlyn has done movies like ‘Dhama Choukdi’, ‘Savita Bhabhi’, and ‘Jee Lene Do Ek Pal’. She has also starred in the TV show ‘Crime Alert’.
