Talking about her cancer journey, Nafisa says, “For one year, I fought with cancer and the next year went in recovering and getting fit.” She used to think she was unstoppable, but receiving a cancer diagnosis was a life-altering event.

Swimming at the national level was something else that she believes helped her deal with the sickness.

She once shared a video from her cancer-battling days and captioned it as, “This was me 2 years ago after my big peritoneal cancer surgery. The doctors, the medical team who cared for me and the hospital were amazing as they gave me courage. Happy and celebrating life today with my super positive family.” You can watch the video here.

Today on her Instagram, Sodhi updated about her health that a mass has been detected in her latest PET scan and she’ll undergo a laparoscopic surgery after which a biopsy will determine the nature of the mass. She has written, “Done my PET and they have discovered a nodule near my lung but It’s below my rib cage and above my diaphragm ,so a laparoscopic surgery, via the right rib has to be done to remove it and check if cancerous. Just as well I got my PET done and hopefully the surgeon will nip it in the bud . Most probably on Friday in Delhi .”
