An opportunity to give competition to the Kardashians just went wasted! A week back I mentioned about ‘my badge of honour’ that I was going to receive. And I did and am happy to share about it with the intention of it being received with love. As that’s the only reason I am posting it. Love for self and gratitude for the universe. The picture might be disturbing for some, but these drains have become my dumbells 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/ pre-cancerous stage, with cancer cells multiplying in a contained area. The result I have become a half Indian version of Angelina Jolie (since only one breast was involved)! I told my doctor now is the time to give some competition to the Kardashians since Pamela is passé. But no one listened to me, so now I have a portion of my back tissue in my breast. Perhaps now I can do chin-ups with my breasts! Jokes apart, this obstacle has given me a new definition of life. Respect it’s unpredictability and have the faith and courage to be the hero of your own drama of life. The invincible human spirit is God like, gives you the courage to endure and the will to revive. There is nothing that human spirit can’t do. Also I want women of all ages to be aware. I am 35, and I was returned twice over from a mammogram. If any symptoms come up, think of it as a protective force and get yourselves examined. Also we are so obsessed with boobs. This mastectomy has left me with even more self love! Big, small, left or right inclined , gravity pulling or defying, or even none, each breast the presence or lack of it has a story to tell. Mine has made me a 2.0 version of myself! This post is dedicated to awareness, self love and resilience of a warrior that I know each one of us possesses❤️ #breastcancerawareness #selflove #determination #faith #bodhisattva #bodhisattvaoftheearth

Somehow, Tahira was smiling and happily posing for the picture despite of what she was about to announce. The ailing star wife began the post by stating that her opportunity of giving Kim Kardashian a competition has been wasted! She went to state that she was detected with DCIS (ductal carcinoma) in her right breast with a high grade of malignant cells.

In the post, Tahira stated that she wants women of all ages to be aware of their bodies and its changes. She further urged women to love their breasts despite of the differences in their sizes and inclinations as each breast or the lack of it has a story to tell.

While any person would be recuperating, Tahira is back to work already!

As seen on Tahira’s Instagram story— she is back to her daily routine which includes her typing away on the laptop! In the picture Tahira can be seen sitting in a coffee shop. She captioned the picture with: “Back to doing what I do (under mama’s supervision but)” (sic)

 

Clearly, Tahira is trying her hardest to live life normally and to the fullest. In the meantime, we wish her a very speedy recovery.
