This is how Sanjay Dutt came to know about having lung cancer

Sanjay Dutt’s lung cancer news shook everyone. A few days back, Baba was admitted to Lilavati Hospital after he complained of breathlessness. As per a report in Times Of India, Sanjay thought that he had developed symptoms of COVID-19 after he discovered that his oxygen levels had dropped; but he tested negative. Sanjay informed the authorities that the symptoms were still bothering him.

The actor was then advised to undergo a CT scan, followed by a PET scan and then he came to know that he has cancer.

The source told the portal, “Upon reaching the hospital, it was detected that air entry was not happening from his right lung. A CT scan further revealed that there was fluid accumulation in his right lung (pleural effusion) accompanied by two lesions, one on each lung. Sanjay was told that it could be a bacterial infection, tuberculosis, an adverse effect of strenuous exercise wherein he might have hurt himself, or cancer. The fluid was removed, the volume was as high as 1.5 litres. A 2-day hospitalisation followed. Sanju kept asking a lot of questions especially when he was told that the extracted fluid was about to be sent for detailed diagnosis.”

The histopathology department found out that the fluid had cancer cells and PET scan also confirmed cancer. Sanjay then took counselling session and then consulted an oncologist that gave him all the details about the possible treatment. He was told that at this stage of cancer, chemotherapy was the only option and no surgery is possible. The doctor informed him that his chemotherapy sessions will have several cycles, depending on the line of his treatment.

We wish for the speedy recovery of the actor.
