Below is What She Wrote along with her photo :

I had this idea to do a photo shoot while battling cancer. When I first began my career as a model 20 years ago I did not embody the American concept of beauty. I was told I was too dark, too light, too curvy, or that my hair was too dry, too curly, or too big. No make up artist could match my skin tone because they never carried around proper foundation for women of color.

Then the curvy Brazilian girls took over the fashion industry, god bless them, and my career took off. I had a niche. Being "exotic" was cool...Being "ambiguous" was cool......Being "ethnic" was cool......Being "brown" was cool.

Now many of the celebrated parts of a woman that our culture defines as beauty I no longer have....eyebrows, hair, eyelashes, and soon my breasts....

Chemotherapy wreaks havoc on your body slowly. My sum of parts once interconnected and harmonious are now dissembled and out of tune.

It's truly humbling to go from traveling and working internationally to being confined to my bed. Everyday is a challenge when simple pleasures such as eating, going for a walk, or carrying my child in my arms escape me. I was on the sidelines as I could no longer participate in the daily goings on of life.

With Cancer comes destruction. However, it has also provided me with the opportunity to rebuild from the inside out. I have shed what is no longer necessary and quite honestly, impeded my growth.

Being alive is essentially a very lonely proposition and I'm okay with this....Because I absolutely love and enjoy the woman I've become. So when I say I am alone, I mean free of a man, career, role, or title I may have clung to in the past to define myself. My happiness does not depend on the love, reassurance, loyalty, or approval of another.

I am simply Mieko. I have nothing to hide. I have stage 3 breast cancer and I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life.

We salute for her courage and How she has inspired many women and other as well who are struggling the same battle of cancer.
