‘Aage bhi yehi pray…': After 11 days at the hospital, Dipika Kakar says she is ‘free from liver cancer tumour, but…'
'11 days of being here and now home… free from the tumour… but this is one part of the treatment done… remaining will follow in the coming time… and mujhe yakeen hai I will sail through that too (I believe I will sail through it),' she wrote in a heartwarming post on Instagram.
Kakar also expressed her gratitude towards the medical staff at Kokilaben Hospital. 'Ye 11 din mushkil the (these 11 days were difficult) but because of the amazing ppl we had around… things went smooth… There was suffering, but it was all handled with a lot of warmth by everyone at the #kokilabenhospital.'
She concluded her note by thanking her fans and well-wishers for their support. 'And my biggest strength has been the love, prayers and blessings that you all have showered on me… Dil se thank you… bahut himmat mili aap sabka pyaar dekhke (Your love gave me a lot of strength)… Aage bhi yahi pray kijiyega ki my treatment further goes smoothly & i get the strength to go thru that as well… Lots Of Love to all…(keep praying for my treatment to go smoothly),' wrote Kakar, 38.
Earlier, her husband and actor Shoaib Ibrahim had shared in a family vlog on YouTube that Kakar was discharged after an 11-day hospital stay and would return for a follow-up check-up in a week.
Taking a cue from her admission, let's understand what treatment and recovery post liver cancer surgery look like.
Dr Swapnil Sharma, consultant, liver transplant and gastrointestinal surgeon, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central, said once the tumour is removed, the next phase focuses on preventing recurrence. 'This includes regular follow-ups, imaging tests, liver function monitoring, and in some cases, additional treatments like immunotherapy depending on the pathology report and cancer stage,' said Dr Sharma.
The expert explained that after surgery, the patient enters a structured recovery phase. 'Our liver has regeneration power. After resection, the remnant liver regenerates and it can regrow to its original size within the next three months,' said Dr Sharma.
Close medical supervision is essential. 'If recurrence is identified, further treatment such as locoregional treatment like ablation or chemo, or radio embolisation can be considered. If the patient has liver cancer in an underlying cirrhotic liver, we can consider a salvage liver transplant as well. The most important thing is lifestyle modifications and ongoing monitoring,' said Dr Sharma.

How long does recovery take, and what should patients keep in mind?
Dr Sharma said that recovery usually takes around six to eight weeks. 'Patients should eat a nutritious, liver-friendly diet, avoid alcohol, get adequate rest, and follow medical advice strictly. Regular follow-ups are critical to track healing and detect any early signs of complications or recurrence,' said Dr Sharma.

'Your insult is not an insult': xQc fires back at users asking 'who' is Ibai after his record-breaking 10.8 million stream
(Image via YouTube/xQc) The streaming world witnessed a history, with a record-breaking 10.8 million viewers tuning in for a single Twitch broadcast. But it seems like not everyone recognized the magnitude of this moment, prompting a fiery response from one of the biggest names on the platform. xQc ensured to dismiss the chorus of 'who' in quite a blunt way. He made sure to shut the questioners with his perfect response. xQc issues a sharp response to the streaming ignorance With Spanish streamer Ibai shattering the viewership record on Twitch with La Velada del Año 5, there were some viewers who responded on social media platforms with dismissive comments. Their 'who?' reaction just didn't sit well with the streamer xQc, a Canadian streamer. Félix Lengyel, popularly known as xQc, is famous for his unfiltered commentary. He stumbled upon the news of a historic 10.8 million viewer stream, mocked the ignorance of the streamers and viewers who acted like they knew everything about Twitch, and yet filled the comment section with 'Who?' He was surprised that they even asked about the streamer who was behind this record. xQc reacts to Ibai 11 MILLION Twitch Live Viewers 😱 #xqc #twitch #ibai In the words of xQc, 'I love how like new age streamers and watchers like to act that they know about Twitch and if something happens, They go yo Who is this guy?' xQc found the entire irony to be laughable. He mocked the tendency of viewers to dismiss such a monumental achievement with just a question of who? xQc then added, specifically mentioning the Who dude, 'your insult is not an insult when the post is actually getting like 11 million viewers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo Like it's like irony. Gamer overall.' He highlighted the absurdity of trying to diminish someone, pulling the numbers, and bringing in entire platforms' daily traffic in one stream. Who is Ibai Llanos , and why couldn't the streaming world's audience recognize him? Ibai Llanos is a streamer from Spain who recently was able to achieve the unexpected during "La Velada del Año" fifth annual event. The event with the blend of influencer boxing, sheer spectacle, and celebrity appearances has previously smashed viewership records (consistently). Ibai, who is a former esports commentator and the co-founder of the KOI, commands one of the largest global followings on Twitch and YouTube channels. It exceeds 11 million subscribers. Ibai, though, comes from a different streaming hemisphere. Despite being a giant, the core audience and content style focused by him diverge from streamers like xQc. The dominance of Ibai is deeply rooted within the Spanish-speaking world. It is built on the massive and thoroughly produced events. Now, despite the large following, reaction from the streaming world questioning Ibai's identity is potentially because of the linguistic and cultural divide in streaming events. It shows that even the unprecedented success could remain invisible to the segments of one's own community. It even shows that creators are still underestimated by viewers, if they do not speak english. To such viewers, these streamers are unknown, irrespective of the impact they create in the streaming world. Ibai Llanos broke his viewership record Ibai rompió récord en Twitch con #veladadelaño5 Ibai's La Velada del Año V event was held at La Cartuja Stadium, Sevilla. This year did not just break the viewership record, but Ibai's previous Twitch viewership record, too. It surpassed his 6.7 million viewership's previous record. The numbers are staggering, and they far exceed peaks set even by the massive streamers like TheGrefg and Kai Cenat. Historic Twitch Record Broken! The achievement shows that the non-English streamers, particularly from Latin America and Spain, aren't just growing, but they are setting benchmarks for the live viewership. Ibai has consistently occupied Twitch's top spots in all-time rankings as one of the Spanish streamers. He has proved the immense power of large-scale and localized event streaming. His current success clearly signals a bright and undeniable future. It even shows that the next record-shattering moment can come from anyone or anywhere at all.
