Linda Evangelista has revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy five years ago.
She spoke about her odeal while taking part in a rare photoshoot for WSJ. Magazine, posing at all angles while going back to her supermodel days.
The 58-year-old supermodel also used the interview to speak out about her December 2018 breast cancer diagnosis that led her to have a bilateral mastectomy before she found another lump in her chest last year.
After having the surgery, Linda assumed she would be “set for life”, but that was until she had a cancer scare last year after discovering a lump in her chest.
After the doctor promised her to do a biopsy, it turned out she had cancer in her pectoral muscle.
At the time, Linda said she told her doctor: “Dig a hole in my chest.

“I don’t want it to look pretty. I want you to excavate. I want to see a hole in my chest when you’re done. Do you understand me? I’m not dying from this.”
Since then doctors have told her that her prognosis is good, but this doesn’t stop Linda from worrying, admitting she only told a “handful of people” about her ordeal.
Linda shares her 16-year-old son Augustin James Evangelista with French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, who is Salma Hayek’s husband.
As a result, their families are completely intertwined, and the supermodel has offered high praise of her teenage son’s stepmother in a new interview, sharing a rare insight into their co-parenting relationship.

Linda recently told Vogue that her son spends the holidays with his father, sharing examples of Salma’s kind heart.
She told the fashion magazine: “I was sick at Thanksgiving. And Salma got on the plane with her daughter, came here, and made Thanksgiving dinner.
“She asked what I wanted – it was a very eclectic wish list. I wanted her Mexican chicken with truffled potatoes. And she spent the day in the kitchen and cooked it herself. No help.
“She made a feast – a beautiful, beautiful meal. I had told her that I wasn’t going to have Thanksgiving; I wasn’t feeling well.
“And she said, ‘Oh yes you are: I am coming.’ And poof, she was here.”
Linda dated François-Henri Pinault for a few months in 2005 and 2006, and she gave birth to Augustin in October 2006.
In 2011, the model filed paperwork seeking child support from her ex, who had already had Valentina with Salma before marrying the Zorro actress in 2009.
Despite having different mothers, Salma is reportedly very involved in all of their lives calling her family a “huge blessing”.
