100 Survivors: Clara Behar

1. my face (daily)
April 3, 2005: This is the day I found out that the cancer had moved into my brain. Of all the places that breast cancer could go, the idea that it might spread to the brain always scared me the most. This day was a nightmare. I was horrified and so afraid.

ABOUT
100 Survivors is a collaborative, web-based photo and video project for women diagnosed with breast cancer. By featuring up to 100 women and their work, 100 Survivors hopes to inform and inspire by looking beyond "awareness" and "supporting the cause" and focusing on the experiences of actual women with breast cancer.
