1. According to 41-year-old Mieko Rye, who has been working as a model for 20 years, after starting chemotherapy, she tried to avoid mirrors in every possible way, even when brushing her teeth.

2. As the woman says, after starting to lose her hair, she became even more skeptical about herself, because the work of a model requires a certain appearance.

3. According to Rai, when she was crying, she looked at herself in the mirror for the first time and saw "someone else."

4. "With cancer comes destruction. Nevertheless, he also gave me the opportunity to recover from the inside," the model wrote on her Facebook. "I'm just Mieko. I have nothing to hide. I have stage three breast cancer, and I've never felt more beautiful in my entire life."

5. "I am a single mother, and I have only me and my son," she says. "I don't want to go through this again. I don't want my son to go through that again."

Just as then she had the strength to follow her dream, so now she has the strength to overcome cancer and all other obstacles in her path.
