Part 1 Continues…

Tahira Kashyap was diagnosed with cancer in September, 2018. Post her diagnosis, she shared the news online, stating that she had been diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in her right breast with high grade malignant cells. She underwent a mastectomy soon after that.
Tahira had always kept her fans updated with her diagnosis and her day-to-day struggles, with posts on her Instagram profile. She addressed the issue of post-diagnosis hairfall by sharing a picture of herself, right after shaving her head. “I never thought I would go bald, was stretching my time with the good ol’ cap for too long. But this feels so good.”

She proudly wore her scar as a badge of honour and urged other cancer survivors to also do the same. With a picture of her bare back showing the deep scar after her mastectomy, she wrote about the importance of not giving up. “Wish you all a happy World Cancer Day and hope each one of us celebrates this day in an embracing way. That we remove any stigma or taboo associated with it. That we spread awareness about it and that we have self love no matter what. I truly embrace all my scars as they are my badges of honour.”

Tahira kashyap’s journey of battling and surviving cancer has been a motivation for her fans. Ayushmann Khurrana, in an interview with news agency IANS, spoke about the difficult time that the family underwent. He said that he was balancing work and attending his wife at the hospital, all together.
