"Life
is under no obligation to give us what we expect". - Margaret Mitchell
The
unexpected makes us grow, which is what the past few days have been about.
Learning
that I have been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine Tumour as of now has admittedly
been difficult, but the love and strength of those around me and that I found
within me has brought me to a place of hope.
The
journey of this is taking me out of the country, and I request everyone to
continue sending their wishes.
As
for the rumours that were floated NEURO is not always about the brain and
googling is the easiest way to do research ;-) To those who waited for my
words, I hope to be back with more stories to tell."
Irrfan had earlier shared on social media that he was suffering from a
rare disease, and had asked fans to wait for his diagnosis report before making
any kind of speculations.
"Sometimes you wake up with a jolt with life shaking you up. The
last fifteen days, my life has been a suspense story. Little had I known that
my search for rare stories would make me find a rare disease. I have never
given up and have always fought for my choices and always will. My family and
friends are with me and we are working it out the best way possible. In trying
times, please don't speculate as I will myself share with you my story within a
week – ten days, when the further investigations come with a conclusive
diagnosis. Till then, wish the best for me!, (sic)" he had shared on
social media.
However, a lot of rumours had been floating ever since Irrfan's illness
came to the light. Rumours of he suffering from brain cancer had been doing the
rounds on social media.
His fans and other Bollywood celebrities has been praying for him,
wishing him fast recovery.
