00:00 Linda Evangelista spoke to the Wall Street Journal about her breast cancer diagnosis.
00:08 Despite her severe stroke of fate, she remains optimistic.
00:12 In the interview, the 58-year-old revealed that she had had breast cancer twice in the
00:15 last five years.
00:16 In 2018, a tumor was found for the first time during an annual mammography.
00:22 The model immediately decided to have a double mastectomy because she wanted to get away
00:25 from it all and not have to deal with it.
00:31 Even before her mammary glands were removed, she was certain of this.
00:35 "Breast cancer won't kill me," she said.
00:40 In July 2022 came a big setback again as she felt a lump in her breast.
00:44 She acted immediately and said this to her doctor.
00:47 "I don't want it to look pretty.
00:50 I want you to excavate.
00:51 I want to see a hole in my chest when you're done.
00:52 Do you understand me?
00:53 I'm not dying from this," she confessed.
00:57 Today Linda Evangelista's condition is good but not yet great.
01:01 She knows how serious things are for her but she remains optimistic and celebrates life.
01:05 "I know I have one foot in the grave but I am totally in celebration mode," she said.
01:11 "I'm so happy to be alive.
01:15 Everything that comes now is a bonus."
