In the 1970s, brazen beauty Lynn Kohlman took the fashion world by storm. Then, after appearing in magazines around the world, Lynn ended her career as a model to become a famed photographer and the creative director at DKNY. She also started a family.
But in 2002, Lynn felt a lump in her breast. It was cancer…and it had spread to both breasts. There was only one real treatment option—a radical double mastectomy followed by aggressive chemotherapy. After her treatment, doctors delivered the good news that her breast cancer was gone.
With the help of her best friend Donna Karan, Lynn took on a new approach to living. She became passionate about studying yoga and staying healthy. But as it turned out, breast cancer was just the beginning of her battle.
A few months later, during yoga class, Lynn felt a surge of fire rush through her body. She was having a seizure. Subsequent medical tests confirmed what Lynn says she already knew—it was brain cancer. Doctors gave her six months to live…that was three years ago.
Why Lynn feels more beautiful today than ever before.»
In her book, Lynn: Front to Back, Lynn shares bold photographs of herself, which reveal the shocking scars covering her body. Even without her breasts, which were considered her best feature by many, Lynn says she feels more beautiful now than ever before.
"I am more beautiful now," Lynn says. "Because I know myself better. And that knowing and being more me comes from my heart…not my exterior."
After brain surgery, Lynn even thought of the 39 titanium staples in her scalp as a fashion statement of sorts. Fashion designer Donna Karan agreed!
"I didn't want her to take out the staples," Donna says. "I thought they looked so cool. I mean, Lynn is edgy so it was perfect for her edgy look. You know, no tattoo…staples."
Donna shares the lessons she's learned from her best friend. »
Donna and Lynn met years ago when they worked at Anne Klein and have been friends ever since. Donna says Lynn was the muse for her DKNY line, and now she's also one of her personal heroes.
What are the most important lessons she has learned from Lynn's battle with cancer? "The spirit of living and really how to give back," Donna says, "[I learned] how much Lynn has given to all of us. … The journey that she went on has been an amazing journey."
Lynn shares her advice for women who find out that they have cancer. »
Oprah: There are women who are going to get the diagnosis for breast cancer today. … What do you want to tell them?
Lynn: To choose. You have choices when you get cancer. To me there are only two—I'm a very black and white person. You can either lie down and say, "Why me?" or you can look at it and go, "This is the story. What do I choose to do about it?" Is it lie down … or is it to really look deeper than that and enjoy every single day that I do have when confronted with death and make it the best day of my life.
Lynn wears her Live Strong bracelet with pride and says that Lance Armstrong was one of the inspirations for her book. Lance's words have also helped her confront fear and "choose to look at death as an option."
Lynn also found inspiration in Neil Young's lyrics. She even chose to close her book with a Neil Young quote that reads, "A little love and affection, in everything you do, will make the world a better place, with or without you."
