She shared a post which read, "Seven year itch or the power of regular screening- it's a perspective, I had like to go with the latter and suggest the same for everyone who needs to get regular mammograms. Round 2 for me...I still got this."

Tahira Kashyap accompanied her emotional revelation with a thoughtful caption, saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade..." — using humor and resilience to express her mindset as she faces breast cancer once again. She ended her note with a powerful reminder about health and self-care, adding, "Ironically or not, today is #WorldHealthDay.
