Cancer is a thief. Untreated, most types of cancer will kill you. It will steal your health and, generally, your spirit. Here sits a woman, Yulady Saluti, who refused to fall prey. Instead of allowing cancer to take from her, she took from it.

Captured by Robert Sturman in the photograph below (CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW), Yulady’s poise and grace shine like the sun. Yulady is a mother of six, loving wife, and yoga teacher. Although cancer took her breasts and multiple lymph nodes from her right arm, she refused to allow it to take anything more. Instead, Yulady has been campaigning to educate women about her experience. She has touched thousands of women, imploring them to “check their tatas!”
