An Indian woman, Tanya Kumar, has called out close family members and friends who moved on so quickly three days after the funeral of her 20-year-old daughter, Tishaa. Tanya, the wife of a Bollywood actor-producer, Krishan Kumar, in an Instagram story on Saturday, December 21, 2024, said these close friends and family went back to posting their celebrations, dances, and travels within two to three days after Tishaa's burial. Tishaa tragically passed away in July 2024. She was laid to rest the same month. Media outlets initially reported her death as the result of a long battle with a prolonged illness, sparking an outpouring of grief and sympathy. However, in a poignant Instagram post, her mother, Tanya Singh, has spoken out, revealing shocking details about the circumstances leading to her daughter's untimely death. In the post, Tanya recounted the pain of losing her daughter and expressed her belief that Tishaa's death was caused by a misdiagnosis and inadequate medical care. Tanya shared that her daughter had never actually suffered from cancer, as previously reported. Instead, Tishaa's illness was linked to an autoimmune condition that was triggered by a vaccine she received at the age of 15. According to Tanya, the vaccine might have caused lymph node swelling, which doctors mistakenly identified as a sign of cancer. This misdiagnosis, coupled with a rushed decision to conduct invasive tests like a bone marrow biopsy, led to unnecessary treatments, including chemotherapy, which, Tanya suggests, may have worsened her daughter's health. Tanya's post also emphasises the importance of second opinions in medical diagnoses. She urged parents to be vigilant and sceptical when facing a potential cancer diagnosis, especially if symptoms like lymph node swelling appear. "If, God forbid, your child just has lymph node swellings, PLEASE make sure to get a second and third opinion before going in for a bone marrow test or a biopsy," she wrote. Lymph nodes, she explained, can swell due to a variety of reasons, including emotional trauma or an undiagnosed infection. Describing Tishaa as the 'bravest' young woman she had ever known, Tanya recounted how her daughter continued to fight with courage, refusing to succumb to fear or depression. Tanya also shared that Tishaa had been actively working on raising awareness about the dangers of misdiagnosis and the side effects of chemotherapy, particularly with biomedicine as an alternative. Tishaa had hoped to help others by spreading a message of love, courage, and the power of a positive mindset, even in the face of challenging medical conditions.
