The actor Emraan Hashmi shares his pain of time when he got to know that his son had very rare kidney cancer. That news totally shattered him. Emraan says his son was diagnosed with a very rare case of cancer and the family knew they had a battle to fight.

“In 2014, my son, he was 3 years and ten months, was diagnosed with a very rare case of kidney cancer. It happens to roughly 2-3 per cent of kids under the age of four. My son was part of that unfortunate percentage of kids,” Emraan said.

He continued, “As a parent, as a care giver in our family, we were shattered. We went through a lot of emotions. Pain, guilt, despair and depression. But, we were willing to fight this battle. We knew we had to go for the long haul and do everything that we could to save our son’s life."

“It is a battle which is still going on. But there is one fundamental thing that got us through this, that was the information and knowledge that we got when our son was diagnosed with cancer. That made it easier,” he added.

“There are many people who feel cancer is contagious. There are social stigmas attached to it. I’ve heard people don’t take timely chemotherapy sessions because they take it lightly, and in many cases they feel it is a dead end,” he said in last.
