Breast Cancer taught her life lessons she will never forget

Most people would not see cancer as a blessing but for Ramuna Chellapa, being diagnosed with breast cancer has allowed her to dream again.

“I want to write. And, I want to be a model... not as a profession, of course, but I’ve modeled for a couple of campaigns to raise awareness about breast cancer and I really enjoyed it and let’s just say I’m a willing model if there are opportunities,” says Ramuna, with a laugh.
