Sonia Gandhi confirms cancer battle in new memoirs

Sonia Gandhi's memoirs, released on Tuesday, confirm her battle with cancer during the second term of the UPA government. This revelation addresses long-standing speculation within political circles. The surgeries took place at the European Institute of Oncology in Italy and Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, not at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York as previously thought. In her book 'Belonging: A Journey of Love', Sonia recounts her experience leading up to the surgeries, including her decision to avoid treatment in India to escape media attention. She describes the support from her children, Rahul and Priyanka, during her surgery. Sonia's memoirs provide insight into her health struggles and personal reflections. This candid acknowledgment may influence public perception and discussions surrounding her political journey and resilience amidst personal challenges.
