A teenage cancer sufferer is proving that you don’t need hair to be breathtakingly beautiful, after starring in a number of modelling shots online.
Texan Andrea Sierra Salazar, who suffers from stage 2 nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, is just 17-years-old.
Earlier in 2016, Andrea found a tumour in her neck, and later, one in her chest.
And after undergoing chemotherapy, Andrea, like many other cancer sufferers, lost her hair completely.
As her treatment often kept her off school, Andrea dedicated her time to modelling for a series of stunning shots – featuring her in an embellished ballgown.

“Cancer doesn’t stop me being a princess” tweeted the teen, alongside the shots. Her story has since been picked up by Buzzfeed and even Vogue, something she described as “a dream.”
Back in July, Andrea shared another inspiring message she found on the walls of her cancer clinic. It read:
“What cancer can’t do…
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.”
