According to GSP, Hidishan has been battling a serious form of stomach cancer for the past year and the disease has worsened recently. The former athlete reached a weight of only 43 kilograms and could hardly tolerate chemotherapy sessions.

Over the past few months, several humanitarian appeals have been made for Hidishan in the hope that the necessary money will be raised for the former player to travel abroad for further treatment.
