Singer Anastacia, who has conquered cancer not once, but twice, has chosen to show her mastectomy scars to the world.
The 48-year-old’s brave decision comes having had a double mastectomy in 2013 in an effort to fight the disease.
Anastacia spoke to Fault magazine about the reasons behind her decision to participate in such a vulnerable photo shoot.

"My scars are a part of me and I want to be the one to reveal them."
"If paparazzi photographed them, I'd feel like I was being shamed but being able to release them this way, I feel extremely empowered."
Anastacia, who recently appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, spoke of the effects the surgery has had on her life.

I must admit I haven't had much prior exposure; the scars being on her back surprised me as I expected them to be on her chest.
For 48 - she has a fantastic body, she is in remarkable shape!
