"Cut off both sides"... British woman declares 'chest battle' by taking off her top

Bilateral Mastectomy for Stage 3 Breast Cancer in 2022
Activities to Raise Breast Cancer Awareness and Promote Body Positivity

The story of a British woman who confidently exposes her upper body even after having both breasts removed due to breast cancer has become a hot topic.

Recently, British media outlets The Mirror and The Sun introduced the story of Danielle Moore (34), who lives in Bristol, UK. In November 2020, while breastfeeding her son, she discovered a lump in her breast. Later, Moore was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer that had already spread to her lymph nodes. In 2022, she underwent elective bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer treatment and had both breasts removed.

Despite the difficult situation, Moore shared her breast cancer treatment journey through her social media account titled "the boob battle." She currently has 23,000 followers. She hopes that courageously revealing her experience will help raise awareness about breast cancer and promote body positivity.

Recently, she also revealed a topless photo of herself in the British tabloid Page 3. Page 3 is a long-standing British newspaper tradition that features a large image of a topless female glamour model, known as a "Page 3 girl," on the third page of the tabloid. However, due to subsequent controversies over sexism and criticism from feminists, the trend has shifted to featuring clothed models instead of topless ones.

Regarding becoming a Page 3 model with a somewhat different semi-nude appearance, Danielle said, "It was a great campaign to raise awareness about breast cancer and to show the diversity of bodies." She added, "Seeing my face and almost naked body online, in newspapers, and in various brand advertising campaigns always feels strange, but if showing my scars and openly talking about cancer helps others, it is always worth it." She also said, "By showing this side of myself, I want to eliminate fear of cancer and prevent people from falling into the trap of thinking they must be perfect to be valuable." She continued, "I hope more people talk about body positivity and that it becomes normal to talk about bodies that look 'different.'"
