Half the battle is won, says Tahira Kashyap

Tahira Kashyap was diagnosed with breast cancer and the way the writer is dealing with the situation has been extremely inspiring. Tahira who has completed the 6th chemotherapy wrote a very inspiring message on a social media platform.

Tahira posed wearing a t-shirt with the words ‘f # # k cancer’ written on it and captioned the picture saying, “That’s what you do when cancer shows up. You show it the way out! It is a tough phase to be in, but then I would have never known my own strength, which is inherent in each one of us, and which we come to know off when tested. Like I said before, let’s choose to be the heroes of our own drama of life. I strongly believe if an obstacle comes in your life it is for you to deal with it, overcome it, beat the shit out of it and become a better version of yourself, which could be a bit worn out but would be experienced, a bit tattered but wiser, a bit left out but more to bring forth, a bit handicapped but better equipped! So now the upgraded version of myself is dealing with cancer stage 1 a, which is still a result of early detection.”

She further wrote, “I’ll be going through 12 sessions of chemotherapy. 6 down, and another 6 left. Hence the cap look nowadays This post is dedicated to my journey where half the battle is won and the other half I want to fight with each of you who is enduring it. Be resilient, be strong, we shall overcome and how! Also I have immense gratitude for people around me who have taken it in the right spirit and didn’t give up on me. Personally I owe it to my best friend @komal20to77, husband @ayushmannk, parents @kashyap6480 @yajankashyap . This bit is taken for granted but when professionally you are supported and still look dependable your resilience to fight becomes stronger. For this I owe it to @atulkasbekar @tanuj.garg @findingshanti@shrutiv11 who too were shocked when they heard the news but didn’t give up and still lay bet on this bruised but not broken horse. Gratitude”
