There was a public fundraising four years ago to help her raise funds. In her funds drive, she was able to raise more than Sh6 million within a few hours.
She announced that she had gone into remission, but in 2018, she went to India for a cyberknife procedure that involves radiation of the cancer cells.
The procedure is done on the full body.
“The body and disease has responded to this form of treatment and I had to finish what was left. Praying done and over!” she reported on her social media. She had two sons with her husband.

I couldn't believe it. Anjlee Gadhvi was exposing a lie on TV, but she didn't sensationalize it. She made the liar seem human. She showed us how to embrace people who correct their mistake. She turned #TheCancerLie into an inspirational story. She was a beautiful soul. #RIPAnjlee — Nahashon Kimemia (@nahashon87) January 10, 2020
