Mammootty's doctor should decide whether to do surgery or radiation, there is nothing to fear since it was diagnosed early: Thampi Antony

There are many statements regarding the health of Malayalam megastar Mammootty on social media. There were reports that Mammootty, who is acting in a multi-starrer directed by Mahesh Narayanan, has stopped shooting and is in a hospital in Chennai for treatment. There were also rumours that he will go to the United States for further treatment. The star's PR team had responded by denying the rumours. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding this.

Meanwhile, reactions from those close to Mammootty have also come in. Director Jose Thomas had clarified the other day that this is just the beginning of the disease and that he will recover with two weeks of radiation. Director and Bigg Boss star Akhil Marar also responded to the issue. "He was paying attention to the budget of the film and at the same time was getting ready for the shot without looking at his health, so he developed gastric problems. When he had minor difficulties, he got tested," Akhil Marar clarified. Now, a Facebook post shared by actor Thampi Antony is also being discussed. "Since it was diagnosed in the beginning, the doctors' opinion is that there is nothing to be afraid of," says Thampi Antony. Thampi Antony also says that his doctor should decide whether he should undergo surgery or radiation.

Thampi Antony's Facebook post

Mammootty, Mammukka of Malayalis.

Colon cancer is usually detected through colonoscopy. It is done once every ten years after the age of fifty. Everyone should do it. Fecal occult blood testing starts at 45. This should be done every year. Mammukka must definitely be someone who pays attention to all of that. He is also very careful about his food intake. When we were acting in Palunku, we had dinner together with Ambili Chettan. I noticed that time, his habit of keeping his food intake light.

Now, perhaps, there are some obvious symptoms. However, I heard that the doctors' opinion is that there is nothing to be afraid of since it was diagnosed in the beginning. Whether an operation or radiation is needed should be decided by his doctor. I know people who have gone through all that. They are all completely healthy and leading normal lives even after twenty years. There is no doubt that the Malayalis' Mammukka will be active in films again when he is completely healthy.

Wish him a speedy recovery.
