New Delhi: Television actress Chhavi Mittal, who is known for her roles in popular tv serials and YouTube series, has opened up on the struggles of fighting breast cancer. The actress took to her Instagram to share a picture of herself, with a long emotional note, talking about how breast cancer is affecting her but how she is trying to embrace the changes in her body and not let the disease "bog down her spirits."

She wrote, "Dear breasts,
This is an appreciation post for you. The first time I noticed your magic was when you gave me immense pleasure.. but your importance peaked when you fed both my babies. Today it’s my turn to stand by you when one of you fights cancer.
Its not the best thing to happen, but it doesn’t have to bog my spirits down. It’s not going to be easy, but it doesn’t have to be tough. I might not look the same again, but it doesn’t have to make me feel different.
A big cheer for all breast cancer survivors.. you have no idea how much inspiration I draw from you today.
And also, for those of you who already know, thank you for being so supportive. Every call you make, every msg you send, every visit you pay me.. is appreciated no end and that’s all that makes a difference."

On Sunday, Chhavi shared an appreciation post, thanking everyone who called, messaged and extended their best wishes to her, motivating her to keep going strong in this difficult time.

She shared an overwhelming note mentioning that in the last 24 hours, she has only cried, but with tears of joy. She wrote, "I’ve shed a lot of tears since yesterday. But only tears of joy! I’ve received thousands of messages and wishes in the last 24 hrs & they keep pouring in… and each one of them has words like, strong, superwoman, inspiration, fighter, gem, and many such beautiful adjectives that they used for me. I also got messages from different faiths where you guys are praying in the Mass, during Namaaz, to Bholenath, Guruji and whoever gives you strength. People reached out with alternate therapies, books to read, groups to join and the most inspiring of all.. their own breast cancer journeys. I am so overwhelmed to have such a loving and engaged community as supporters! Many of you even cried reading the news! How can I not recover fast!

But I also got a lot of queries asking, how I discovered it. I truly have a higher power looking over me and I feel blessed to have detected it early. I had gone to a doctor for a minor gym injury in the chest and that’s when they found the lump. We investigated it further and further till we did a biopsy which came back positive. To ALL WOMEN, I feel like my gymming will literally save my life but nothing should be left to chance. As a post cancer patient one is supposed to do 6monthly PET scans mandatorily.. so in order to save your life from Breast Cancer, PLEASE do regular self-examination/ mammograms… and do not neglect a lump if you find one. 🙏
Early detection is the only key abnd it’s worth every effort."
