“I’ve had some health struggles and everything now is just a celebration,” she told the outlet. “I think going through hardships and coming through the other end has made me focus only on the good things. I’m so happy to be alive. I know I am very fortunate.”“I have always viewed scars on the body from surgeries, from disease, as trophies.
They are like gold and shiny and should be on a mantle. It shows you won,” she continued. “I think scars are to be celebrated and not to be looked at as bad and ugly. It makes you stronger.”that in July last year, a lump on her chest prompted her to see her surgical oncologist. Evangelista underwent an MRI and the doctor immediately ordered a biopsy.
