Atul on cancer diagnoses
As reported by India Today, Atul – during a YouTube interview last year, revealed doctors had found a 5 cm tumour in his liver the year prior. He said, “I had completed 25 years of my wedding. I was fine when we went to Australia and New Zealand. But after a few days, I wasn’t able to eat anything. I felt nauseous, and knew something was wrong. My brother later gave me some medicine but they didn’t help me.”
He continued, “After visiting many doctors, I was asked to get ultrasonography done. When the doctor did it, I saw fear in his eyes and I felt there was something wrong. I was told I have a tumour about 5 centimeters long in my liver and that it is cancerous. I asked him whether I would recover or not, and he said, ‘Yes, you will.'”
At the time, Atul added that he was misdiagnosed and he faced health issues after it. The actor said, “My first procedure after being diagnosed went wrong. My pancreas got affected, and I started having issues. The wrong treatment actually worsened the condition. I couldn’t even walk. I used to fumble while talking. In such a condition, the doctor asked me to wait for one and a half months. They said if they did the surgery, I’d get jaundice for years and my liver would be watery or I wouldn’t survive. Later, I changed doctors and took proper medication and chemotherapy.”
Team Bollywood Bubble offers condolences to Atul Parchure’s family.
May his soul rest in peace.
