The author and photographer of the project, Tatiana Krukovets ‘ last year brought a cancer diagnosis.

Shock. Imagine, yesterday you were an active member of the society, planned orders for the month ahead, and suddenly you say: I’m Sorry, you have cancer. You don’t understand how to tell it to their relatives. First, it is generally not recognized. Thought now quickly, get some therapy, will not lose heart, prokapali and all will be well. And then it turns out that the treatment, in the best case lasts a year.

The heroine of the project, Fearless beauty

But fears time. Tatiana was determined to fight the disease and has already been through 8 cycles of chemotherapy:

Unfortunately, chemotherapy has side effects. Chemistry affects the nervous system, so people who are receiving therapy, slowly slipping into depression. After a few months of treatment you realize that everything is not so fast and start to slide to the point of despair. Going to work no longer works, as, actually, and hide the disease because you’re bald, without eyebrows, eyelashes and puffy face. Starting to ramble, forget words, sometimes can not construct a sentence. Here comes the most terrible moment.

When people learn about their diagnosis, it is important to have a number of close people, ready to support at any time. Tatiana was lucky.

My friends support me, so I can’t give up, can not retreat. In anabolico, communicating with other patients, I repeatedly heard stories that because of a diagnosis from someone turned friends or colleagues, for me it caused internal protest. The support that I have, should be available to all cancer patients.

Unfortunately, in our society there is still a lot of prejudice against people with a cancer diagnosis, so it is important to talk openly about the disease and to understand that the problem can affect anyone.

Today in Ukraine, about 100000 cancer patients.But we don’t see these people because they are hiding, afraid. Fear, pain, broken nervous system develop in a huge puzzle that prevents them to be treated and to recover. Forces are depleted.It should not be. Unfortunately, in our country is very developed kantserofobiey. But, I think we can do better: on tolerance, on understanding. This just needs to talk, and to women in diagnosis it is important to accept yourself and are not afraid of others.

The combination of all these factors became the impetus for the creation of the project, Fearless beauty.

I’m a photographer, poetological your thoughts and perejivaniyami photo. Decided to draw famous people who got radoms oncogynaecology heroines. Some time left to think, some on the announcement of the idea and its realization by the Heroine of the first picture was myself, because there were no volunteers. I starred after treatment: no eyebrows, no eyelashes, bald and swollen face. And by the will of fate with me was filmed Eugene Mishka. A picture began to circulate in magazines and social networks, and then began to appear the first heroine of the project. I am grateful to each of NASA courage, because I understand how hard it is to accept what your fotografiruet thousands of people.

Not to mention moustachette, because the shooting of the project she had sovmestitelstvom that became for it an additional test.

At times it was difficult. After some filming, I have not even been able to drive a car, so sometimes they would take me niece. A few days I was recovering, but then said to myself: okay, time to move on!.

Tanya was the inspiration for many heroines who were able to overcome their fears and experiences.

Some girls have to shoot in social networks was not a single mention of the diagnosis, and coming from the shooting they were doing a selfie, although he was without hair, and put it on the page. It was kind of a breakthrough! There were also many comments from those who decided not to participate in the project, nofotografeti other heroines give them strength and support. I understand that it was not in vain.

Tatiana does not hide that the project brought a lot of positive emotions and her

Each character, coming to us, performed the feat that inspired me.I am inspired by their courage.

The participants and guests of the project

Despite the fact that much is already behind us, recently, Tatiana moved caresource, and now she has to undergo additional chemotherapy treatments.

I don’t ask myself why me. I accept myself. I’m at the point now. If need be, agatova accept the new reality, to adapt to the new conditions. But my desire to live will not change! Anyone who is currently struggling with illness, I wish not to be one. In social networks there is a special community where you are willing to provide support. Speak with friends and family and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Tatiana, as someone who has been on both sides of the fence, knows how important it is to have a number one who loves you and protects.

The most paradoxical, I understand very well people who take a position of inaction because of the shock. For goddo my diagnosis of suspected cancer and faced my dad.Remember, came to him and just didn’t know what to say. Now I know that cancer to life gets attention.Your little deeds! Even a joint trip to the Park or a movie can give a person feel that he is alive and near people who care. Many somehow think if a person is sick, he must lie and die. It is not so! After a few days I have a serious operation, but this morning I’m still shooting people, and now present at the presentation. It gives me the feeling that I control my life, not a disease controlling me. I want to enjoy life to the last breath.

Support, including financial, is now required three more participating States. We decided to acquaint you with their stories.

The desire to live in the here and now

I often use the phrase: to Live here and now, and agree on something that three years ago just would not agree. And all because I have cancer, and he taught me to live today. No matter how much time we have, none of us are eternal, so we must live in the here and now.

My name is Olya Gardega, and already more than 2 years, I am a continuous struggle with Negotinska lymphoma. I learned about the diagnosis in 25 years, when it was not ready to hear that kind of worked, lived like most without worrying about anything but work and lack of free time. Anyway, the word cancer seemed to be something distant and unknown, I only saw that in movies people with this diagnosis, was vomiting and hair falling out.

About the changes

I went through a period of hair loss three times and, frankly, didn’t even cry about it. Of course, I felt strange, but accepted it as an experiment with hair, katarynka would have dared before. It calmed me. I was different: swollen, bald, and not very nice unfortunately, many judge by appearances, and don’t even know that I’m not just shaved off my hair and am challenging (physically and mentally) the fight against the deadly disease.

Participation in the project

I am very glad that got on the project, Fearless beauty, who showed people that cancer is not a sentence. Fear is not necessary. No one knows how much time he is allotted. In turn can expect a brick, who unexpectedly falls and you still haven’t reconciled with his sister or friend, without telling that you love them.

I am happy that Tatiana Krukovets ‘ by their personal example and the project shows that life goes on. I was in awe of shooting the process at the site. Project Fearless beauty is not just a project about recovering the girls, it is something more not only for us but for the guest stars.

I had the opportunity to be photographed with the athletes who achieved success through hard work, as well as now we seek recovery. It is important to destroy, finally, the stereotype that people with cancer is walking corpses that have to sit at home and quietly die. Life goes on, so you need to believe in yourself and the goodness around, because people who care a lot, if you just look.

About treatment

I’ve dealt with 29 chemotherapy treatments, but the end is not yet. I am now undergoing radiotherapy, while a year ago I said I was hoping only for a miracle. I confidently go to his goal, despite the fact that I am a weak girl, who at 27 is behaving like a seventeen year old. I think it is better to smile to the world and get a smile in return, than to be angry and wonder Why me?. The only question that I ask myself, why?. I’m sure that one day I will find the answer. In the meantime, I plan to complete radiation therapy in Kiev and fly to China for immunotherapy and clinical study, which may give me a chance at life, as my tumor not only to chemistry, but also began to increase. CAR-t in China, it is also a lottery, to the same pay, but I’m not losing hope that there is treatment, coeroeni will help. To conduct such a long struggle with the disease is not easy, but to surrender is tantamount to suicide. I believe that each of us lives a little terminator, which will necessarily lead to victory.

About dignose

I was almost 39 years old when he made the diagnosis of breast cancer. Shock is the first thing that I have experienced. The world seemed to have stopped. Fear, anger, failure, despair, impotence, and answers to the questions Why me? What should I understand? lasted almost a year until I decided to fight the disease.

Power that was spent to conceal their diagnosis,redirected to the question What next?. I began to meet people who have already undergone treatment. For me they have become an example and a beacon in the storm of feelings. I chose another hospital for treatment with already a clear willingness to go your way to recovery. As it turned out, this was only the beginning of the test, which should pass. Treatment requires a lot of physical, emotional and financial resources.

Resources of the family have been just enough to begin treatment. Then I decided to speak publicly about his diagnosis and ask for help from friends. People began to respond, but gradually the money came from.

Participation in the project

Project Fearless beauty has become merepotkan of fresh air in this difficult struggle. Besides that, I realized my dream to take part in professional photography, I met a beautiful, young, positive, creative women who also were diagnosed. Phenomenal was the fact that people with a fatal diagnosis could create an incredibly cheerful atmosphere on the set during filming. It has inspired endless! Everyone was so sincere, and so I felt a thirst for life!

Photoshoot with public people is a relationship with society, understanding that this could happen to anyone, regardless of age or status. Nice to chat with people, open to support and assistance. Understanding, compassion and commitment to philanthropy today save thousands of lives!

About treatment

Since February of 2018 I completed 16 rounds of chemotherapy. In August, underwent surgery, but there is another important phase of treatment of 8 Oct I’m starting radiation therapy. Again I turn to the people, not indifferent to others ‘ pain. 107.000 hryvniafor one person is a lot of money, but I know that joint efforts can work wonders!
