Supermodel triumphs over multiple cancer battles, cherishes life.
Supermodel Linda Evangelista Overcomes Two Breast Cancer Diagnoses
In a recent interview, supermodel Linda Evangelista revealed her courageous battle against not one, but two breast cancer diagnoses over the past few years. The 58-year-old Canadian fashion icon shared her story with the Wall Street Journal, opening up about her journey to overcome this devastating disease.
Evangelista’s first diagnosis came in 2018 when cancer was detected during her annual mammogram. Determined to conquer the illness, she made the brave decision to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. “Breast cancer was not going to kill me,” she declared to her doctor. With unwavering strength, she opted for the surgery to put everything behind her and move forward.

Despite believing she was “good and set for life” after the surgery, Evangelista faced another setback in 2022. She discovered a lump on her breast, which turned out to be cancerous. Faced with a second diagnosis, she approached her doctor with determination, demanding them to “dig a hole in my chest.” Her focus was on survival, not aesthetics. She was ready to fight and refused to let cancer define her.
With her characteristic resilience, Evangelista tackled the challenges head-on. She entered a mode of determination, doing whatever it took to overcome the disease. Now, while the prognosis is “good,” she acknowledges that it’s not “great.” She received a “horrible oncotype score,” indicating the likelihood of the cancer returning.
