Reflecting on how she revealed her diagnosis to her daughter, Dolly had earlier told Etimes, "It was very difficult to talk to my daughter Amelia about it. She was just 14 years old, and when I received the diagnosis, I started giving her hints and told her that Miu, mummy was going to be fine and that she would get well soon. Later when I shared it with her, I made her understand that it is curable and I will be fine. Slowly she began to take it normally and she is better."
