It`s a shocking photo.

I wouldn't consider this shocking. Granted, most people aren't exposed to this type of image every day.

When I look at this, I see hope. I see a woman who has overcome serious obstacles and is moving on with her life. Great example of what it means to be human and also a great example of "a shot with a story."

Thanks for sharing, Ricardo. I hope this gets featured. I'm a big fan of bold photography.

Hauntingly beautiful.

Well said Brandon. This is a perfect photo for this topic.

I keep being drawn to that expectant belly.
Always a miracle to me!I've seen lots of people with missing parts,but I feel that this is one brave woman.I hope she gets to see her grandchildren!

Beautiful

Dure et beau....

Due to my work, I see this almost every day. A lot of women are 'warning' me for, what they call for themself, ugly body. They don't realize it's part of my job and I see it multiple times a day.

I see these women (and don't forget: a breast tumor can also be found in a man's breast) from the beginning when they have both their breast and coming for their first mammography and later on. So many people, so many ways to cope with it.

Images like this help to get people concious about the need for checking your breast every month. Furthermore it's also helpfull for women (and men) who did had a breast amputation and feeling accepted in society, they don't have to feel 'ugly' anymore.

Ricardo, you did a good job with adding this photo on Vazaar. It's isn't shocking, it is reality.
