The actor, who had announced her third remission only a few months ago, said a recent PET/CT scan showed new cancer deposits on the surface of her liver. Veteran actor Nafisa Ali Sodhi, 69, has shared another update on her cancer journey, revealing that her treatment has now changed after doctors found that the disease had progressed.
Nafisa first revealed her stage 3 peritoneal and ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2018. On the professional front, she appeared in Sooraj Barjatya’s 2022 film Uunchai, where she played the estranged wife of Amitabh Bachchan’s character. She also thanked her followers for continuing to support her through what has been a long and difficult battle. The actor also explained the results of her latest scan in simple terms for her followers. Her post quickly drew messages of encouragement from fans, friends and people from the film industry. Fashion designer Farah Khan Ali was among those who sent her love and strength, writing, “You fight girl. You are strong, you are fabulous, you are brave, and you will succeed. Love and prayers your way always my Naf”. She has also largely been based in Goa while continuing to manage her health and treatment. More recently, she was also seen in the slice-of-life film Max, Min & Meowzaki.
Sharing details of her latest treatment on Instagram, Nafisa said she has now moved to targeted therapy. “In very simple terms, the PET/CT suggests that the ovarian/peritoneal cancer has progressed, with new deposits on the surface of the liver”.
Since then, she has openly documented different stages of her treatment, including periods of remission.
