Taking to her Instagram handle, Tahira shared a post in which she urged cancer-free people to get regular check-ups.

Round 2 for me...I still got this (sic)."

In the caption, she talked about how she is ready to fight the battle again and this time with more power. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
