Chhavi Mittal has been upfront about her br*ast cancer journey. The actress recently shared good news with her fans and followers that she is finally done with all her radiation therapy sessions and will be fully cured after almost 30 days.
In her long inspiring note on Instagram, Chhavi wrote, “I can’t keep calm coz my radiation is FINALLY OVER!! I only recover from this point onwards. I have to follow all restrictions for 30 more days and then I’ll be a free bird!
Image 1 shows my marking-free stomach! Image 2 shows the markings I carried for a month while the radiation took place. And image 3 has a story!
I had to hold my breath while the radiation was being given & when I would get breathless and breathe, the machine would stop. So just to make the whole process fun & build on my breath-holding time, I would always count on my mind… Mississippi 1, Mississippi 2….In this picture, @poojagor accompanied me for my radiation session and when I shared this tiny bit of info with her, she told me a joke that changed my counting for the rest of the sessions
“How does a hippie count his wives?? Mrs hippie 1, Mrs hippie 2…”
Well, these little things made my radiation smooth and I can’t thank the universe enough for how blessed I am! Soon this will all be behind me! Btw, I could hold my breath till Mrs hippie 32

During a recent interview with ETimes TV, the actress talked about her struggles with Radiotherapy. She shared, “For one, I get pain in the br*ast which keeps increasing as the day goes along. Two, I get tired very quickly; sometimes the fatigue is unbearable. Mornings are okay as I have rested in the night, but the issues get tougher towards evening. I can take a paracetamol tablet for the pain, but it really does not help much. I take the radiation therapy in the morning and head straight to my office. If I get unbearably tired, I rest in the office itself. Else, I go home. However, there are some days where I feel less tired; no need to head home early on those days.”
