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.

Earlier this month, Dipika Kakar underwent a 14-hour-long surgery for her stage 2 liver cancer. She is married to actor Shoaib Ibrahim. Dipika said, 'Sabse pehli jo cheez karni thi, jo I think mere liye sabse zyada…one of the most difficult things is pure ek mahine mein rahi hai, was weaning off Ruhaan in one night.

(The very first thing I had to do -- and I think this has been one of the hardest things for me in the entire past month -- was weaning Ruhaan off in just one night. I had no other option. I had to do it, and I cried a lot that night. I cried so much)'. She mentioned that while Ruhaan was nearing two years old and would eventually have to stop breastfeeding, she hadn't anticipated it would happen in this manner. The actor was seen getting emotional at multiple points in the video. The actor added, 'But ab body mein hazaar dawaiyaan jayengi, treatment hoga, and aisi situation mein bachhe ko aap na feed karo wohi better hota hai. (But now, with so many medicines going into my body and treatment starting, it's better not to breastfeed a child in such a situation)'. Dipika also took the opportunity to express her gratitude through her vlog, thanking her fans for their prayers and heartfelt wishes, which she described as truly special. She shared, 'I've cried a lot – out of happiness – knowing that so many people love me so much. I feel truly blessed. And I also feel a little proud that I've earned so much love". Some time back, in Shoaib's vlog, Dipika confirmed that she is now 'free from the tumour', noting that further treatment is still required. Dipika Kakar was diagnosed with a tumour in her liver in May. Earlier this month, Dipika underwent a 14-hour-long surgery for her stage 2 liver cancer. In his Vlog video on YouTube, Shoaib shared that during the surgery, Dipika's gall bladder as well as a small portion of her liver were removed. "Her tumour was taken out nicely. The gall bladder was also taken out after surgery because of a stone. Because the liver had a tumour, some portion, a small percentage of it, was also cut. There is nothing to stress about it since the liver is an organ that regenerates itself," he said. The actor also took to Instagram to update her fans and followers about her health, revealing that she has been diagnosed with stage 2 liver cancer. A part of her note read, "As you all are aware last few weeks have been quite difficult for us... walking into the hospital for a pain in the upper area of my stomach... and then finding out its a tennis ball size tumour in the liver and then Finding out that the tumour is Second stage Malignant (Cancerous) ... it has been one of the most difficult time we have seen, experienced!" Dipika met Shoaib Ibrahim on the set of Sasural Simar Ka, and the couple later tied the knot in 2018 in the presence of friends and family. They welcomed their first child, son Ruhan, in 2023.
