Last week, AKB48 member Yuki Kashiwaki (29) reported to fans that he had been diagnosed with "syringomyelia".
Syringomyelia is a chronic, progressive lesion of the spinal cord that is rare in only one in 100,000 people.
Previously, Yuki Kashiwaki said that she would perform both acting activities and treatment at the same time, but after consideration, she decided to suspend the activities first and concentrate on treatment next.
Yuki Kashiwaki recently participated in TV Tokyo's medical variety show "Main Medical Treatment", "Yuki" was examined in the program, and all the indicators were normal, but there was a problem with the bones.
Through MRI imaging in the program, it can be found that there are abnormal cavities filled with fluid in the spinal cord, and the cavities will compress the spinal cord from the inside of the spinal cord, resulting in symptoms such as numbness in the hands and feet. As the condition worsens, motor function may be affected, and in severe cases, it can lead to the inability to walk.
Eventually she was diagnosed with syringomyelia
Originally planned not to delay the acting activities, she still made the decision to concentrate on treatment, and her solo concerts, which were originally scheduled for July 7 and July 8, will be postponed.
However, before being hospitalized for surgery, she will still carry out work that does not load the body according to the guidance of the doctor, and SNS will try to continue to update.
Yuki Kashiwaki said, "I feel very sorry for everyone who is looking forward to the concert, and my heart is full of reluctance, but just postponing is not a suspension, first of all, I concentrate on treatment, and I want everyone to see a more energetic look than before." ”
According to relevant sources, "When she was first diagnosed, Yuki Kashiwaki was depressed for about three days, and then she calmed down and accepted the reality, she herself is a character who will actively face difficulties, if the operation and recovery go well, Yuki Kashiwaki herself hopes to come back on her birthday." ”
A neurosurgery expert said: "Syringomyelia is a progressive disease, which will lead to numbness, weakness and other symptoms, surgical treatment is not difficult, but it can not be completed at one time, although there are individual differences, but basically a month or so will return to normal." ”
Yuki Kashiwaki talked about his current mentality: "I am still in a good mood, so please rest assured that if everyone can cheer me up in your heart, it will give me a lot of strength!" ”
In addition to the activities of the AKB48 group, Yuki Kashiwaki has recently had a solo concert, a photo album, and a joint cooperation program with other groups, as well as the work of magazines and clothing endorsement advertisements, which is quite busy, hoping that she will have a good rest, successful surgery, and come back as soon as possible.
