Hina Khan, battling Stage Three breast cancer, has been actively documenting it all - her first chemotherapy session, her work diaries, hair transformation - one post at a time. The rain has got nothing on Hina Khan. The actress stepped out for a workout session even in the rain. "What's Your Excuse," she wrote, adding in her caption, "Exercise or any kind of physical activity is vital for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But it's even more essential and effective when one's going through a phase of illness. Working out regularly not only helps you feel stronger physically but it also gives sustenance to our mental health."
Hina added that in the course of her chemotherapy treatment, she often faces neuropathic pain. She wrote, "And keeping a healthy mind is obviously unavoidable. In the course of my chemo treatment I face severe neuropathic pain which makes my legs and feet numb most of the times, sometimes while Working out I loose control of my legs and fall over due to the numbness...But I only focus on getting back up."
The actress added in her post, "I won't let the fall define me .. I will be defined by the strength I show to get up each time. Each time when it feels like I can't get up and go do the work, I push harder. Coz what else have I got other than my strength, my spirit and my Willpower.. So, what's your excuse?"
