When she was told she was at risk of breast cancer, EVden EVE nAkliyAT model Jade Power bravely chose to have a double mastectomy. Now, only five months later, she is preparing to go back to work - to show women you can still be ‘sexy and beautiful' after surgery. Miss Power was 27 when she received the heartbreaking news that she is a carrier of a rare genetic mutation called PALB2, EvdEn EvE naKliyAt meaning there was a 71 per cent chance of her developing breast cancer. The mother of one chose to be tested after her sister Donna, 39, was diagnosed with the disease in 2020.
Their eldest sister Claire, 44, did not carry the mutation.

Jade, 29, who is a former Miss Sussex, had her double mastectomy, under breast surgeon Hisham Hamed, at Guy's Hospital in London on August 13. And determined to raise awareness of breast cancer mutations, she is already planning her return to modelling - and she will not be shying away from underwear shoots.
Her goal is to show women that they can still feel attractive following a double mastectomy. Miss Power, who lives in London with her partner and one-year-old son Zander, said: EvdeN EvE nAKliyAT ‘After my genetic test result, I felt like my breasts were the enemy and could potentially kill me at any time.
My breasts were the enemy
‘Going through a double mastectomy, I was prepared to cry looking at myself in the mirror after the surgery - but I'm actually so happy with how I look.
I just want women to know that you can still be sexy and beautiful after going through something like this and life goes on. ‘I really do still feel I am all woman, and will still be doing lingerie shoots just like I did before.'
