Sonali Bendre has been cancer-free since completing her stringent treatment in New York, after an early diagnosis of the disease.
The actress, who’s all geared-up for the second innings of her acting career, as she recently made her debut on OTT with the the web series – The Broken News, took time out of her schedule for a routine post-treatment follow-up.
The actress called the experience ‘bittersweet’ as she revisited her hospital in New York, and the same spot from where her journey of healing started nearly 4 years ago.
Sharing now and then, images of herself and reflecting back on her journey, Sonali penned an emotional note as she passed-down the same ray of hope that her carried her through, her treatment.
She wrote:
“This chair, this view, this same spot… 4 years later. From sheer terror to continued hope, so much has changed, yet so much remains the same. It was unreal to sit there and see patients going in, and I could see that I had been through a similar journey… saw the chemotherapy suite, the same waiting room, faces were different… I felt like telling the patients that there’s HOPE, and I am there on the other side, and look at me today; I have come in for a visit on the other side of the spectrum.”
Sonali further added:
“It was, as you can guess, a very bittersweet, emotional day. I stepped out, looked my son in the eye with the sunshine on my face, and thanked the universe for everything.”
Here’s hoping continued healing for Sonali, and for everyone out there fighting this disease.
Better days are on the horizon.
