Chhavi Mittal celebrates 3 months of breast cancer surgery with heartfelt note: 'Patting my back...'

Chhavi Mittal has been inspiring us with the way she has been fighting against breast cancer. The lady has been vocal about the treatment she has been going through and how she has been bearing all the pain. The actress had a surgery and later a radiotherapy session.

The actress has now penned down a note as she completed 3 months of surgery. She posted her picture on Instagram along with her note. She wrote, "Today my heart beats fast as I complete 3 months since the breast cancer surgery. Extremely happy with the progress I’ve made, and patting my back for the positivity I continue to maintain. But mostly proud of the various things I’ve learnt about cancer first hand, and through the experience of my other fellow cancer brothers and sisters."

"Some of those facts are that a lot of times it’s curable, the treatment, however slow, does have light at the end of the tunnel, chemo and radiation might affect your hair, but they don’t have to affect your spirits! And most importantly, your disease may not be in your control, but you can definitely control how the recovery pans out."

She also spoke about how she went to work right after he radiotherapy. "I’ve seen so many cancer patients heading to work straight after chemo, I did that everyday after radiation.. and I want to say, that I haven’t heard many patients talk about the positive experiences, but have heard so many care givers use words like “bechara” for cancer patients! Please don’t do that! They’re far from becharas, and are in fact strength personified!, "she said.

She also said that she is writing these notes so that some of the pre-conceived notions around cancer can be changed. She wrote, " I still have a long way to go before I’m a 100%, but I’m sharing my everyday recovery journey so at least some of the pre-conceived notions around cancer can be changed. And for all those cancer diagnosed patients who DM me, “I’m scared”, go and watch my journey since I was diagnosed, and I hope it makes you as fearless as me. #breastcancerwarrior."
