Mumbai: Bharatiya Janata Party’s Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher is suffering from multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer and is undergoing treatment in Mumbai, said one of her BJP colleagues.
Addressing a specially convened press conference Wednesday, Chandigarh BJP President Arun Sood said that the actress and MP was diagnosed with the disease last year. She is currently recovering after treatment.
According to a report, Sood said, “Kirron Kher had suffered a broken left arm at her Chandigarh house on November 11 last year. After her medical tests at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The disease had spread to her left arm and right shoulder. For treatment, she had to go to Mumbai on December 4.”
“Even though she is recovering after her four-month treatment and no longer admitted at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai, she has to visit the hospital regularly for treatment,” he added.
However, there has been no statement or official word about Kher’s health made either by the actress or by her husband Anupam.
