Congress leader Sonia Gandhi spoke in detail in her memoir about how she battled cancer, twice.
From the diagnosis to her fears of a “scary outcome”, Sonia revealed her health concerns and reasons why she decided to go abroad for treatment despite “full confidence” in doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi.
She reportedly also revealed that following her surgery, another growth was detected in her pancreas during a follow-up test. She received treatment at the European Institute of Oncology outside Milan, Italy. “On the day of the surgery, as I was wheeled into the operation theatre, Rahul and Priyanka held my hand and kissed me on the forehead, assuring me that all would be well.
In her memoir, ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’, Sonia recalled undergoing surgery for breast cancer in 2010 and how her children Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi held her hands as she was wheeled into the operation theatre.
“Then in 2010 a more serious problem arose: I was advised an operation for suspected breast cancer,” she further wrote. The Congress MP said that she was not comfortable with her cancer diagnosis getting attention in the media and hence chose to go abroad for her treatment despite confidence in doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
