Lisa Ray suffering from cancer
Kasoor actress Lisa Ray has been suffering from an incurable cancer. She is diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma - an incurable cancer of White Blood Cells. Lisa spoke extensively about her disease in her blog, ‘The Yellow Diaries’.
Friends and colleagues shock to hear the news of her dreadful disease. Vikram Bhatt, the director of ‘Kasoor’ said, “I am in complete shock, I’m going to check on her immediately.”
According to Shamim Sarif, the director of Lisa’s upcoming flick ‘I Can’t Think Straight’ tweets, “I have known since her diagnosis but at this point Lisa wants to truly raise awareness and funding to make sure this incurable disease finds a cure.”
On 8th September, Lisa posted, “I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on June 23rd. Started my first cycle of treatment July 2nd. Notlong ago.”
The actress continued, “For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong. The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, squeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it. I was also tired of being tired all the time. And you just know when something is not kosher with your body. So when I sat there with Bobcat — my life partner and reservoir ofYellow—and got the news I didn’t react and I didn’t cry. I’m an actress, believe me, I can be dramatic. Not just then though.”
However, Lisa’s spokesperson says that he is unaware of the terrible news.
