In 2018, Dr. Dipika Aggarwal was a practicing neurologist when she was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer. Fortunately, through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, by 2019 she was cancer free and back at work caring for stroke patients.
And then the unbelievable happened, she became a
#stroke patient herself, experiencing a stroke that left her paralyzed on the right side and with
#aphasia. While her aphasia is much better, she still struggles with right arm and leg weakness.
Dr. Aggerwal is back to work again, caring for stroke patients with a newfound sense of understanding about the difficulty of recovering from stroke.
