Tülin Şahin, one of the pioneers of the 'Pink Ribbon' movement, which has become a global symbol of awareness for breast cancer, has been diagnosed with a tumor that carries a risk of cancer in her breast. Şahin stated, "I have been telling women for years that early diagnosis saves lives. I have faced the same reality myself."
"A SUSPICIOUS MASS WAS DETECTED IN MY BREAST"
The famous model shared the following in her statement: "Today, I want to share a very personal process with you. As a result of the examinations, a suspicious mass was detected in my breast, and my doctors recommended an operation. I will undergo surgery soon. I am fine. I am strong. But I want to say this: Approximately every 14 seconds, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the world. I have been telling women for years that early diagnosis saves lives. I am one of the names working for the growth of the 'Pink Ribbon' movement in the fashion world. And today, I am facing the same reality."
"IT'S NOT A TOPIC TO BE ASHAMED OF TALKING ABOUT"
Many women are afraid not of the illness, but of being judged. Afraid of losing their jobs, being labeled, being misunderstood… However, health is not a topic to be ashamed of talking about. As a mother, I continue my life and my work with the same determination. My daughter and my family are my greatest strength. During this process, I will continue to produce, work, and stand tall. This is not just a sharing… It is a reminder; early diagnosis saves lives."
