A few days ago, Arij Fatima shared the details of her cancer diagnosis and treatment. She was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma which is a rare cancer, which can develop after molar pregnancy. Recently, Arij shared her symptoms and cancer journey with fans.
Talking about it, Arij Fatima said, “I posted the video after my trauma but so many people reached out to me and extended best wishes and prayers including artists, fans and family members. I would like to thank them all. I got many questions among which the most asked question was to share your symptoms with us. Molar pregnancy is the rarest form of pregnancies, happens to one in ten thousand cases, and choriocarcinoma is also very rare which happens to one in fifty thousand and it is also very hard to diagnose it early. I was lucky enough to have caught it earlier my symptoms were bleeding, acne in my chin and I used to feel nauseous but the biggest thing was my gut feeling. If you feel that your body is reacting differently you should definitely get it checked and also get all your annual blood tests done, get the pep smear test done and women above 50 should get mammogram done. I had a hysterectomy even then I was referred chemotherapy because it is an aggressive cancer that can damage body organs. In June I was declared cancer free but the next ten years, I have to go through a blood test every month to keep a check on my cancer. It was a difficult journey. Thankfully, my kids didn’t know much about it because they are too young for it. I had my grandmother in the USA with me. Everyone helped me MashaAllah.” Here is the link to the video:
