The signs read their message: “Four years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy. I went through the normal treatment for this type of cancer. But I was lucky: my cancer was not yet aggressive.”
“Your life depends on it”
The cancer didn’t have time to spread. That’s why the 55-year-old emphasizes: “Every year, on the same date, I go for a mammogram. If I hadn’t done that every year, I wouldn’t have my left breast anymore.” The former model said she did not want to reveal any further details about her health. “I hesitated for a long time before I decided to talk about this. But I want to send an important message to all the women reading this: Go for a mammogram every year. Go for a mammogram. Your life depends on it.”
Carla Bruni is using October as Breast Cancer Month for her important appeal. In the coming weeks, attention will be drawn to the situation of sick people in different ways and topics such as prevention and early detection will be put in focus.
