#SHOWBIZ: Elyana's post on chemotherapy session: 'Only those who experience it will know'
KUALA LUMPUR: An Instagram (IG) post uploaded by singer Elyana last night has captured the attention of netizens, who are generally speculating about the singer's latest health status.
This follows her previous confirmation of being cancer-free, with her recent photos and captions sparking renewed concern.
In her post, the 38-year-old artiste, whose real name is Erneelya Elyana Emrizal, shared a caption that appears to describe her emotional turmoil.
Elyana also included a photo, believed to be a recent image, showing her head smooth and hairless.
Netizens believe this could be a result of chemotherapy as a preventive treatment.
Elyana, well-known for her song "Niat," shared the following caption:
"The process of our lives, only we go through, only we know. Trying desperately to appear calm and sane without telling anyone."
"My message to my fellow fighters.... You are valuable and you are worthy enough to always be celebrated."
"No matter how much or how little you have, remain a good person even if they insult you badly."
The post has since received nearly 22,000 likes and over 750 comments.
Fans and celebrity friends alike have largely posted positive comments, offering prayers for Elyana's well-being and wishing her the best of health.
In previous reports late last year, Elyana surprised her fans by revealing that she was still undergoing chemotherapy as follow-up treatment.
"Praise be to God, the doctor confirmed that I was cancer-free two years ago. However, chemotherapy treatment sessions are needed to prevent the disease from recurring," she said.
"I need to undergo 12 rounds of chemotherapy treatment, and this procedure is performed at a medical centre in Subang Jaya, Selangor."
"For now, the doctor recommends that I complete four cycles first. Then, the doctor will conduct further examinations to determine whether or not chemotherapy treatment should be continued," she said at the time.
Elyana was reportedly hesitant to be certain whether she had truly recovered, as her follow-up treatment was a preventive measure.
