Overview
- Dipika received a first ‘double’ IV immunotherapy infusion in the first week of June and described severe back pain, lethargy and a mild fever after the treatment.
- She and her medical team say routine reports so far are normal and that planned blood tumour marker tests and imaging will show how well the therapy worked.
- If those July 2 results show a response, doctors will continue the immunotherapy regimen; if not, the treatment plan will be reassessed based on the tests.
- The move to immunotherapy followed doctors finding two new cysts after her 2025 tumour‑removal surgery for stage 2 liver cancer, and further blood tests are underway to study the disease in more depth.
- Her husband Shoaib Ibrahim is caring for his father, who suffered a brain haemorrhage, was moved out of ICU after nearly three weeks in hospital and now has impaired speech and reduced movement in his right leg, and the couple are posting regular YouTube updates as they navigate both health crises.
