After undergoing series of unsuccessful drug medications in Cairo for the treatment of cancer, Egyptian actress Mirna Al Muhandis flew to London to have a critical surgery done to remove the tumors, which proved to be very successful. Mirna's family asserted that she is healing fast and will be back to Cairo in no time. 

 

The problem surfaced after Mirna finished recording her role in the TV drama "Nigmet Al Gamaheer" (Superstar); she flew to London where doctors were trying different medications to improve her condition, but all their efforts proved to be unsuccessful the thing that made them decide to go for surgery. 

 

Mirna was accompanied by her uncle who lives in London. Daily phone calls with Mirna’s uncle are being made to make sure that Mirna is healing quickly. 

 

Doctors treating and supervising the health condition of Mirna have revealed that the actress is responding to her treatment and her condition is witnessing gradual improvement. Mirna’s sister in Cairo has assured that her sister’s health condition is getting better by the day as she is responding perfectly to the treatment her British doctors made for her. 

 

Mirna, who recently returned to the acting world after taking time off due to be treated for cancerous tumors in her abdominal, has once more been rushed to hospital after passing out being unable to take the pain she was feeling. The actress had previously thought that she was rid of her illness and so returned to taking on a number of acting jobs in different TV series, but over exhaustion led her condition to deteriorate once more becoming worse than it was at first.  

 

Mirna announced that she headed to England to resume treatment for her condition and asks everyone to pray that she heals from her sever illness which has taken over her life. The actress revealed that in reality the pains she has been feeling had never ceased to exist since the first time she got sick, but she was ignoring them not wanting to negatively affect her acting career. The pain kept increasing by the minute as she was shooting the scenes for her upcoming TV series “Tala Nihlam bi Bukra” (Lets Dream of Tomorrow), and she had kept quiet until she arrived home and suddenly collapsed and was rushed to hospital by her family.  

 

The TV drama "Qamar September" (Moon of September) marked Mirna’s first role after returning to the acting world. In the series Mirna played the role of a university student who throughout the course of events meets a well-known journalist played by Egyptian actress Mervat Amin, whom she becomes very attached to and begins to look up to her as the perfect role model.  

 

Mirna entered the hearts of everyone two years ago in the drama series “Banat Afkari” (My Brainchildren) scripted by Mohsen Zayed and directed by Yahya Al Alami. She costarred with Egyptian actress Elham Shahin and distinguished Egyptian Actor Mahmoud Mursi. -Albawaba.com
