Mumbai, April 9 (NationPress) Filmmaker and author Tahira Kashyap recently disclosed that her breast cancer has resurfaced after eight years. After beginning a new regimen of treatment and therapies, she took to social media to announce her return home.
On April 9, Tahira posted a cheerful picture on her Instagram, holding a sunflower, and expressed her deep appreciation for the love and prayers she has received. She also informed her followers that she is currently on the path to recovery. In the caption accompanying her joyful photo, Ayushmann Khurrana's wife wrote, “Basking in all the love and prayers! They are magical. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Back home and recovering. I know some of you who are praying and many whom I don’t know, yet I receive all your goodness with grace. Some of you know me and others might not, but I send all my gratitude to all of you. When such a connection is made beyond actual relationships, it’s called Humanity, which is the highest form of spirituality.” (sic).
On April 7, Tahira Kashyap announced on social media that her breast cancer had returned for the second time. She shared a post stating, “Seven-year itch or the power of regular screening - it's a perspective. I'd like to go with the latter and recommend the same to everyone who needs to get regular mammograms. Round 2 for me... I still got this.” (sic)
In the caption of her post, she added, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life generously throws them at you again, calmly squeeze them into your favorite kala khatta drink and sip it with all the good intentions. Because for one, it’s a better drink, and two, you know you will give it your best once again. #regularscreening #mammogram not shying away from saying it #breastcancer #onemoretime #letsgo. Ironically or not, today is #WorldHealthDay. Let’s do whatever we can in our capacity to take care of ourselves #gratitude through and through.” (sic)
Tahira was first diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer in 2018, the earliest stage where abnormal cells remain contained within the breast ducts or lobules and do not spread to adjacent tissues.
