Her husband Khairul Anuar Hussin said the cancer had spread to Elyana’s spinal cord and backbone.

“Last week, Elyana complained that her legs felt numb and she could not walk.

“She took painkiller­s but when there was no improvemen­t, I decided to take her to the hospital.

“The doctor confirmed that the cancer had spread to her spinal cord and backbone,” he said.

Elyana, 31, was one of the stars of the movie Dukun.
