This picture is from the day of my 12th and last chemotherapy session! Can never forget the date. 5 January 2019."

She continued, "The cotton swab on the shoulder blade is of the port. And the nurse in green is holding a box of chocolates that I had shared with them all, expressing my sincere gratitude! big thank you to my doctors especially Dr Mandar Nadkarni. Had this covid situation not been there I would have paid a visit to the doctors and nurses with another box of chocolates who really take care of all of us! No matter how many apples I have, I am never keeping the doctors away!"

Tahira added, "No matter how many apples I have, I am never keeping the doctors away!
