The 2011 World Cup-winner signed off on a motivational note. "Don't give up," he wrote.
National Cancer Survivors Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of June every year since 1988.
Yuvraj Singh was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his left lung following India's World Cup triumph in 2011. He had scored 362 runs and claimed 15 wickets in the tournament and was bestowed with the Player of the Tournament award in the end.
