Life during Breast Cancer Treatment

Alyona Kochetkova had an unforgettable 29th birthday. No, it wasn’t due to a huge celebration. It was on this day in 2017 that she got the shocking news. ‘I could not understand how a person with a healthy lifestyle - which I thought I had - could get cancer.’

Me and my wig, which I used to wear during treatment.

Being a photographer for over 10 years, she was used to capturing moments outside. After she got to know she had breast cancer, the photographer turns the camera on herself and documents her breast cancer treatment. ‘I hope that my story will inspire other cancer patients to find their way through such a difficult period in their lives.’
