Cancer is one of those diseases that everyone probably dreads the most! The almost fatal disease not just leaves the body weak but also crushes the spirit of those who suffer and the people around them. When this disease strikes, the sufferer just dwindles. The worse part is the chemotherapy sessions to fight cancer. A person changes almost completely when affected by this deadly disease.
The disease strikes indiscriminately, therefore many of our very favourite Bollywood celebs have also been affected by it, While some have been cured, some had been silent throughout the testing time. But some had gathered all their strength and spoken at length about each and every phase of their battle. In fact, they have shared their journey in such a way that it has not just inspired other warriors but also the people around them and all of us altogether. Here is the example of 5 such warriors from Bollywood:
1. Tahira Kashyap
Tahira has been giving us all the details about her journey as a cancer warrior. She had been detected with Stage 0 Breast Cancer and had undergone a mastectomy. Not just has she urged women to get a mammography done regularly so that cancer can be detected at an early stage. She has also removed her hair extensions and posted a picture of her scar, inspiring many to embrace themselves as they are and not to hide!
Sonali has been suffering from metastatic cancer which was diagnosed in late 2018. Ever since she has been posting how she is living #OneDayAtATime and helping us #TurnOnTheSunshine. She has been enjoying her life, and has continuously been showing the way to fight with a smile.
The former beauty pageant winner has been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer. She has been using her social media handle to update us about her health.

Lisa was diagnosed with myeloma at the peak of her career. The actress, who had been very much a part of world cinema as well, was diagnosed with cancer in 2009.

She has gone far and wide to raise awareness against cancer and has also started philanthropy after her war with the deadly disease. While she had recalled how the battle made her even more graceful, she now lives as a strong woman and a mother of two.
