Dipika Kakar reveals weaning her 2-year-old son overnight was the hardest part of her cancer battle; experts shares why it's necessary
Dipika Kakar, the 'Sasural Simar Ka' actress, has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer, which led to a gruelling 14-hour-long surgery earlier this month. Eleven days after being discharged from the hospital, the actor opened up about her experience for the first time on her YouTube channel. While speaking about the same, she revealed that one of the challenging aspects after her cancer diagnosis was having to suddenly wean her son Ruhaan off breastfeeding in just one night. Dipika Kakar opens up about the most difficult part after the cancer diagnosis While opening up about the hardest part on her vlog, which was titled 'Duaon Ke Liye Dil Se Shukriya', the actress got emotional and said the first thing she had to do, which, according to her, was the hardest thing for her, was weaning her son off in just one night. She shared that she had no other choice and was forced to do it, adding that she cried a lot that night. Dipika is married to actor Shoaib Ibrahim, and the couple has a two-year-old son named Ruhaan. According to Kakar, she hadn't anticipated that something like this would happen or that she would have to stop breastfeeding. Cancer diagnosis and breastfeeding The actress went on to explain in her video that now, with so many medicines going into her body as the treatment has started, it's better not to breastfeed a child in such a condition. But is breastfeeding not safe in cancer patients? According to the World Health Organization (WHO), if a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer during or after pregnancy, breastfeeding is often not recommended, especially during active cancer treatment. 'Breastfeeding, despite having innumerable benefits, is usually discontinued when the mother is on cancer treatment. Chemotherapy drugs usually have a higher concentration in breast milk, leading to increased relative infant dose,' says Dr Tanmesh Kumar Sahu, Consultant Neonatologist and NICU In Charge, Medicover Hospitals, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. 'These drugs usually have deleterious effects on the normal cell division of the baby. Radiotherapy, whether external beam or brachytherapy, can also decrease milk production during the treatment of breast cancer. The suckling effect of the baby might augment skin toxicity from radiotherapy in the treated breasts,' he adds. 'But during low-dose radiation therapy for breast cancer, breastfeeding can be continued from the untreated breast.' Why do you have to stop breastfeeding after a cancer diagnosis? The decision to stop breastfeeding after a cancer diagnosis primarily hinges on the mother's treatment plan. 'Chemotherapy and some targeted therapies can be harmful to a breastfeeding infant, as they may be present in breast milk. These substances can compromise the baby's health, leading to potential side effects or developmental issues,' explains Dr. Ashwini Rathod, Consultant Obstetrician, Gynaecologist, and Infertility Specialist, Ankura Hospital for Women and Children, Pune. Dr Rathod goes on to add, 'Certain cancer treatments may necessitate surgery, making breastfeeding impractical or uncomfortable.' Healthcare providers usually advise mothers on the safest course of action regarding breastfeeding, often recommending formula feeding during treatment to ensure the infant's well-being. What's the alternative for this? According to Dr. Rathod, 'If the mother has good milk output, she can bank the milk in a dedicated human milk bank by expressing her milk before the start of the treatment to be used later once the treatment gets over.' In a nutshell, breastfeeding should ideally be avoided during cancer treatment in lactating mothers. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

Dipika Kakar Returns Home Days After Cancer Surgery, Reunites With Son Ruhaan
Last Updated: Shoaib Ibrahim shared an update as Dipika Kakar was discharged from the hospital after 11 days. She is battling stage 2 liver cancer. Television actor Dipika Kakar, who was recently diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer, has returned home. She underwent a major 14-hour surgery to remove a malignant liver tumour on June 3, and a few days after that, she was out of the ICU. Now, after 11 days in the hospital, Dipika has finally been discharged from the hospital. Shoaib Ibrahim shared that while the major part- the surgery- went well, and Dipika is recovering, further treatment steps are still ahead. He said that they will return for a follow-up after a week, as the tumour was malignant and requires monitoring. Dipika reunited with her two-year-old son Ruhaan, and other family members, marking a joyful moment. In his latest vlog, Shoaib Ibrahim shared that it has been 11 days since they have been in the hospital, and that Dipika is getting discharged. Sharing her health update, he said, 'Everything is fine right now, but we've only crossed one milestone. There are still many things ahead that we have to look into. As the doctors guide us, we'll keep following that. But the major part — the surgery — went well. Dipika is also recovering well. Yes, there are still a lot of things pending that need to be done. Hopefully, those will also go well." Dipika lauded the team of doctors and medical staff, as they left the hospital and headed home. Shoaib and Dipika Recall Breaking Down After Hearing Tumour Was Malignant Shoaib shared that when the doctor first told them that the tumour was malignant, he and Dipika broke down right there in front of the doctor. He revealed that the doctor was very kind and patient, and said 'Take your time, we understand'. Further sharing about Dipika's health, Shaoib said, 'Everything is fine, but we'll have to keep coming back for follow-ups because the tumour was malignant. That situation has to be monitored. Also, they've asked us to come back in a week. After that, they'll decide what further treatment is needed — whether something needs to be done or not. For now, we're taking it one step at a time." Meanwhile, Shoaib also mentioned that while he was initially going to share this vlog yesterday, he delayed it out of respect for the victims of the Ahmedabad plane crash. Dipika and Shoaib extended their condolences to the victims' families. Last month, Dipika revealed that she is battling stage 2 liver cancer. The television star, known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka, shared the heartbreaking update through an emotional Instagram note. After suffering intense stomach pain, doctors discovered a tumour 'the size of a tennis ball" in her liver, which was later confirmed to be cancerous. Since then, Shoaib has been sharing her health updates on social media. First Published:
