Renowned supermodel Linda Evangelista, celebrated for her iconic career in the 1990s, has shared her inspiring story of triumph over breast cancer, a battle she valiantly fought not once, but twice, within the short span of five years.
In an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Linda’s revelation offered a glimpse into her unwavering strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Back in 2018, she received her initial breast cancer diagnosis following a routine mammogram—a moment she had chosen to keep private until now. Confronted with this life-altering news, she made the brave decision to undergo a bilateral mastectomy, believing she had successfully conquered the disease.

However, 2022 brought an unexpected setback as breast cancer resurfaced, this time affecting her pectoral muscle. Linda faced this challenge with remarkable determination, urging her medical team to take every necessary step to ensure her survival.
Linda’s outlook remains positive, with her post-cancer care oncologist describing her prognosis as “good“. Despite the uncertainty associated with a “horrible oncotype score“, Linda celebrates each day with renewed vigor, recognizing the value of life in its entirety.
Breast cancer wasn’t the sole health challenge Linda encountered in recent years. She also grappled with the consequences of a “fat-freezing” procedure known as CoolSculpting, leaving her “permanently deformed” and “brutally disfigured“. In response, she took legal action against the procedure’s provider, Zeltiq Aesthetics, ultimately settling the matter in July 2022.
Linda Evangelista’s resilience transcends her health battles. In 2022, she returned to the forefront of the fashion world, gracing the cover of British Vogue. Furthermore, she is set to feature prominently in an upcoming Apple TV+ documentary titled “The Super Models“, alongside iconic figures from the ’90s modeling scene—Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crawford.This endeavor holds the promise of bringing together these iconic models, reigniting memories of their joint presence in George Michael’s “Freedom!” ’90” music video.
Linda Evangelista‘s journey is a testament to the indomitable human spirit’s will and capacity for resilience in the face of adversity. Her story serves as a wellspring of inspiration, reminding us to cherish life’s moments and celebrate each day, irrespective of the challenges life may present. Linda’s courage in sharing her story will undoubtedly raise awareness about breast cancer and empower individuals on their own paths to recovery.
