Sonia Gandhi Reveals Cancer Battle in Memoirs

In her book, Belonging: A Journey of Love, Congress leader and former president Sonia Gandhi has opened up about her life story layer by layer. She has also spoken about her illness. Sonia Gandhi has described her illness as once suffering from a serious disease like cancer. The good thing is that she overcame this serious life-threatening disease and is now living a healthy life. Sonia Gandhi's memoirs, released on Tuesday, officially confirmed the cancer. It was long discussed in political circles but never publicly confirmed. The cancer occurred during the second term of the UPA government. The book also explains where she underwent two surgeries. The first surgery was at the European Institute of Oncology near Milan in Italy, and the second at the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam. Before that, she had a serious allergic reaction to New York's Kate Sloan Memorial Cancer Surgery Center. Sonia had never claimed to have had an allergic reaction, but had an asthma attack.
