Mumbai, April 7 (NationPress) Tahira Kashyap, the wife of Ayushmann Khurrana and a celebrated author, has announced a relapse in her battle with breast cancer, having initially faced the disease in 2018. On this year’s World Health Day, she took to Instagram to reveal her diagnosis while highlighting the importance of regular mammograms for cancer survivors. In her post, she stated, “Seven year itch or the power of regular screening - it's a perspective, I’d like to embrace the latter and encourage everyone to prioritize regular mammograms. Round 2 for me... I still got this.”
In the caption, she remarked, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. When life generously throws them at you again, calmly squeeze them into your favorite kala khatta drink and savor it with good intentions. It’s not just a better drink; you know you will give it your all once more #regularscreening #mammogram not shying away from saying it #breastcancer #onemoretime #letsgo. Ironically or not, today is #WorldHealthDay. Let’s do everything we can to take care of ourselves #gratitude through and through.”
Seven years prior, Tahira underwent a mastectomy. She has been candid about her journey, raising awareness about breast cancer. In 2018, she was diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ), featuring high-grade malignant cells in her right breast, categorized as stage 0 or pre-cancerous.
Recently, Tahira shared a powerful image of herself with a clean-shaven head, a result of chemotherapy. She also posted significant moments from her treatment journey.
She captioned the post, “And that's life! You make the most of it, realizing how humbling the experience is. I honor the many brave women who have fought valiantly. Let everyone's experiences remind us to cherish our lives, understanding the unique significance each of us holds. Spread awareness. Early detection of breast cancer is curable, not just treatable. Wishing love, hope, and joy to all. Life is a celebration of gratitude.”
