On April 7, Tahira Kashyap shared on social media that her breast cancer had returned for the second time.

Round 2 for me... I still got this." (sic)

In the caption of the post, she added, “When life gives you lemons make lemonade. When life becomes too generous and throws them again at you, you squeeze them calmly into your favourite 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.

Tahira was initially diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer in 2018, the earliest stage where abnormal cells remain confined to the breast ducts or lobules and do not spread to nearby tissues.
