Chhavi Mittal on her breast cancer journey: ‘Tired of not understanding what my own body can or cannot do’

Chhavi Mittal shared a photo of herself on Instagram and wrote, “Sometimes I feel it would be better if people could just look at your face and know that you’re not ok. But lone journeys are never like that. Only a traveller knows the blisters on his feet from walking or the soreness in his back from carrying his bags. Only a jilted lover knows the ache he feels in his heart. Only a battle survivor knows the struggle he goes through to get by each day at a time.”

“It’s been 2 months since my breast cancer surgery and just like a mother, pregnant in the last few days, I’m getting impatient to feel ok, to feel normal, to be able to do the things I did before it all began, to be able to smile from within… tired of going back to bad days after seeing a few good ones… sick of not understanding what my own body can or cannot do.. exhausted of fighting… but I know there are some battles you can only fight alone. #surviving #breastcancersurvivor #cancersurvivor #fightingmybattles #gettingby #thistooshallpass,” Chhavi concluded.

Chhavi Mittal often takes to social media to document her journey as a breast cancer survivor.
