Elle Macpherson Details Her Battle With Cancer and Decision to Refuse Chemotherapy
Bianca Balti is sharing a heartbreaking health update.
The model, 40, announced in a Sept. 15 Instagram post that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
“Last Sunday, I checked myself into the ER to find out that my lower abdominal pain was stage 3C ovarian cancer,” Balti wrote. “It’s been a week full of fear, pain and tears but mostly love, hope, laughter, and strength.”
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model has an optimistic outlook on her cancer battle, sharing that her friends and family serve as motivation to give this fight everything she has.
“I have a long journey ahead, but I know I will beat this,” she said. “For myself, my loved ones (my daughters are at the top of the list), and all of you who need strength, you can borrow some of mine cause I have loads.”
Balti—who shares Matilde, 17, with her ex-husband, Christian Lucidi, and Mia, 9, with her husband Matthew McRae—concluded her health update with an inspiring message to her followers.
