Aniela McGuinness: I'll tell you about my mastectomy

32 years old, a career as an actress, a home in Hollywood and a perfectly normal life, if only she hadn't been very familiar with breast cancer.In 2014 Aniela McGuinness was planning a preventive mastectomy, she has a genetic mutation closely linked to cancer, when she was diagnosed with the tumor.
The internet searches were even more discouraging than the disease itself and, for this reason, Aniela decided to videodocument her medical procedure so that she could help, and be able to help herself, not to lose her smile.

Aniela began her journey like this, re-proposing the famous shot of Rosie the River, an iconic American worker during the Second World War.

After the mastectomy she was portrayed as the bride of a new Frankenstein halfway between real scars and scenic make-up.

After chemotherapy we find Aniela smiling and literally "dazed": no hair and breasts redone due to the intervention.

This is the last shot of the #mastectomyphotoseries: finally free from the tumor.

Today, Aniela's story is a source of inspiration for many women.
