K24 presenter Anjlee Gadhvi is no more.
The multi-talented media personality succumbed to liver cancer while receiving treatment at the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi on Friday.
The mother of two was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2013 but went public in 2015 a month after Janet Kanini was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Oh my friend @AnjleeGadhvi You fought that cancer beast with all your might. You did it for your kids, husband. Never lost hope. You always smiled through the pain & insisted on coming to work even at your weakest points. We believed you were winning...until now! RIP my friend.
Anjlee has been in and out of hospital and in August she underwent CyberKnife treatment in India and in December she was in Mombasa on holiday with her family.
On 17 April 2019, Anjlee showered her husband with love on his 40th birthday.
Happy birthday my darling!
40 IS A BIG DEAL
Thank you for being there for me!
I wish you a world of happiness, and life has just started for us!
We have been married for 10 years, and cancer has been in there for the last 5 years.
What a journey! We are still together, still strong! And very very blessed. No easy passage through these last 5 years that have consumed us, and that could have broken us! We truly have stood the test of time together, and I am proud of US!!! Happy 40th! This year we pray that we will conquer and win! And that absolutely nothing and I mean nothing will stop mee from spending a lifetime with you! I WANT to LIVE!! See the world with you, laugh, and see my children grow up, get married!! And yes!! I will live to be a grandmother!
AMEN!
THIS IS THE THRIVE GANG!! THE THRIVING COUPLE’ she posted.
