Tahira Kashyap revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2018. She shared a detailed note on her Instagram profile and wrote: “I was detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in my breast right with high-grade malignant cells. Simply put stage 0 cancer / precancerous stage, cancer cells multiplying in a confined area. “
The opportunity to compete with the Kardashians has just been spoiled! A week ago, I mentioned “my badge of honor” that I was going to receive. And I did it and I am happy to speak about it with the intention of receiving it with love. As that is the only reason why I post it. Self-love and gratitude for the universe. The image can be disturbing for some, but these drains have become my dumbbells for a few days. I was detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in my right breast with high grade malignant cells. Simply put stage 0 cancer / precancerous stage, with cancer cells multiplying in a confined area. The result, I became a half Indian version of Angelina Jolie (because only one breast was involved)! I told my doctor that the time has come to compete with the Kardashians since Pamela is gone. But nobody listened to me, so now I have part of my back tissue in my chest. Maybe now I can do push-ups with my breasts! Joking aside, this obstacle gave me a new definition of life. Respect its unpredictability and have the faith and courage to be the hero of your own life drama. The invincible human spirit is like God, gives you the courage to endure and the will to live again. There is nothing that the human mind cannot do. I also want women of all ages to know. I am 35 years old and have returned from a mammogram twice. If symptoms appear, consider them as a protective force and get examined. In addition, we are so obsessed with breasts. This mastectomy left me with more self-esteem! Large, small, tilted left or right, pulling or defying gravity, or even none, each breast, its presence or absence has a story to tell. Mine made me a version 2.0 of myself! This message is dedicated to the conscience, self-esteem and resilience of a warrior whom I know each of us has #bust knowledge
