The 58-year-old revealed she receieved her diagnosis in December 2018 that led to her having a bilateral mastectomy. She then found another lump in her chest last year. Linda's first cancer diagnosis was detected during her yearly mammogram. The model then had another cancer scare in July last year. Sharing her experience, Linda said: "The margins were not good, and due to other health factors, without hesitation, because I wanted to put everything behind me and not to have to deal with this, I opted for a bilateral mastectomy. Thinking I was good and set for life. Breast cancer was not going to kill me." She recalled how she went ahead with an MRI after finding the other lump. It prompted her doctor to do a biopsy that turned out to be a cancer in Linda's pectoral muscle. She told WSJ Magazine that she urged her doctor to "dig a hole" in her chest. Linda said: "I don't want it to look pretty. I want you to excavate. I'm not dying from this." Since then, Linda has been told her prognosis was good. However, she questioned why she wasn't told it was "great". The model was informed that once cancer had come back, there's a chance it could return again. She candidly shared she knows she has "one foot in the grave" but is celebrating her positive news. Linda decided to keep her health private and only a "handful" of people knew about her cancer ordeal. Earlier this year, Linda said she was left "brutally disfigured" after a fat-freezing cosmetic procedure backfired. Linda claimed that Zeltiq's CoolSculpting treatment ended up increasing, rather than decreasing her fat cells, and she was left with lumps all over her body which she was forced to hide under her clothes.
