When she breathed her last in Delhi AIIMS late on Tuesday night, a wave of mourning swept not only UP-Bihar but the whole country. Her demise at the age of just 72 is no less than a big shock. If her son Anshuman Sinha is to be believed, Bihar Kokila was suffering from a serious disease like multiple myeloma. This is a type of cancer. She has been battling this disease since 2017. But, she did not make her disease public. She always raised her voice while laughing among the people.
Became weak in fighting the internal battle
According to Anshuman Sinha, Sharda Sinha has been battling multiple myeloma since 2017. Our family members know this. It was her wish that my pain should not be made public. She did not like to work by explaining what she was suffering from. After the death of their father (Brajkishore Sinha), her morale broke down. She got a big shock. She broke down completely. Due to this, she became weak in fighting the internal battle. Just after the end of father’s shraddha, we came to Delhi for a routine check-up of her health. During this time, her illness started increasing rapidly. Therefore, on the advice of the doctor, she was admitted to AIIMS. After a few days, the condition became such that she breathed her last while fighting the battle in the hospital.
Know what is multiple myeloma
According to Dr BP Singh, a famous cancer specialist from Bihar who has worked at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, multiple myeloma is a type of cancer. It affects the patient’s bones, kidneys, and the body’s ability to make healthy red and white blood cells and platelets. It cannot be completely cured. But, its conditions and symptoms can be treated and its progression can be slowed down. Multiple myeloma is formed in the white blood cells. Healthy cells help fight infection by making antibody proteins. Antibodies search for germs and attack them. In multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells are formed in the bone marrow. Cancer cells drive out healthy blood cells from the bone marrow. Due to this, cancer cells make proteins that do not work properly. Gradually it weakens the body. Immunity starts decreasing. The patient’s health starts deteriorating.
