Sidhu opens up about wife’s recovery from cancer

Once Team India’s star batsman, Navjot Singh Sidhu struck an emotional chord today by opening up about his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu’s recovery from cancer and shared a message of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.

Sidhu said a positron emission tomography (PET) scan was conducted, which testified that she was clinically cancer-free now. He said besides the medical treatment, it was Navjot Kaur’s willpower and change in lifestyle that had yielded the results.

‘Can Rejoin politics if high command desires’

Refraining from commenting on politics, Navjot Singh Sidhu said he would make a comeback only if the Congress high command wished him to do so. The former Punjab Congress chief has not been active in politics since he came out of a jail after serving a sentence in a road rage case.

Navjot Kaur was diagnosed with Stage IV invasive cancer and had to undergo breast surgery for “rarest of rare metastasis”.

Sidhu said the whole family did extensive research, read books written on cancer by Indian and US doctors, and Ayurveda. They zeroed in on common denominator that lifestyle and food habits had to be changed, he said. “The diet helped reduce cancer’s lifeline. After 45 days, she underwent a surgery, and in the PET scan, cancer was not detected,” he said.
