Tanya posted a video on her Instagram handle featuring happy moments with her daughter Tishaa Kumar. The video shows Tishaa’s lively personality, a cheerful young girl who loved pets and loved spending time with her loved ones.

Alongside the post, Tanya wrote, "'How, What, Why. Many have been reaching out, asking me to share what truly happened. But truth is subjective and relative to how one perceives it."

Tanya continued her note, expressing the heartbreak of seeing "a pure, innocent soul" face injustice caused by someone else's wrongdoings. She described the situation as "confusing" and "complicated," emphasizing the tragedy of realizing the truth only when it's too late.

Tanya shared that despite enduring so much, her daughter never succumbed to fear or depression.

Describing her as "the bravest version of brave" and "the most fearless and cool 20-year-old ever," Tanya revealed that Tishaa was determined to spread awareness about not letting medical diagnoses instill fear in others.

"The truth is, my daughter did not have 'canter' to begin with," Tanya Singh clarified. "At age 15 and a half, she received a vaccine that possibly triggered an autoimmune response, which was then misdiagnosed. We were unaware of this at the time."

In her concluding message, she urged parents to seek second and third opinions before opting for invasive procedures like a bone marrow test or biopsy if their child experiences 'lymph node swellings.'

Tanya explained, "Lymph nodes are the body's defense guards and can swell due to emotional trauma, feelings of rejection or betrayal, or an untreated previous infection.

Unfortunately, we were already caught in the 'medical trap' long before this information reached us. She concluded by writing, "I pray daily that no kid should ever have to face this cruel world of medical traps or hidden negative forces."

"No matter what philosophies say, no matter the business of medical (mis)diagnosis and (mal) practices, and no matter if people dismiss beliefs like the evil eye, dark magic, or Nazar, it's all irrelevant to the truth," Tanya Singh wrote. "What anyone else thinks doesn't matter because no one else knows what you, know. In time, the truth reveals itself, and it will."

Earlier, in an official statement shared by the Kumar family at the time of Tishaa's death, they had revealed that she died on July 18 after a prolonged battle with illness.

What causes lymph nodes to swell?

Lymph node swelling or lymphadenopathy occurs when lymph nodes get enlarged due to an active immune response. Infections are the most common cause, bacterial, viral (flu or HIV) or fungal infections. Tuberculosis or mononucleosis can also cause swelling.

Other causes include inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus which activate the immune system abnormally. Cancers like lymphoma or leukaemia can cause persistent lymph node swelling. Rarely, swollen nodes can be due to medications or allergic reaction.

The location and symptoms like pain or fever helps to determine the cause and needs medical evaluation for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Can vaccines cause lymph node swelling?

Yes, some vaccines can cause temporary lymph node swelling as a normal immune response.

This happens because the vaccine stimulates the immune system and lymph nodes produce immune cells.

Vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and smallpox can cause lymphadenopathy in some cases.

These are usually mild and resolve in a few days to weeks. Swelling means the body is building immunity but persistent or severe symptoms need to be evaluated by a doctor.
