When Sue Cook officially hit her fifth year in remission from an aggressive form of breast cancer, she was ready to celebrate.
During her treatment she’d had both breasts removed; now she wanted to cover her scars with a beautiful, lace tattoo.
“After reaching my unexpected five-year remission, I began reclaiming my body to show that cancer doesn’t always have to leave the last mark,” Cook, 62, tells People.
Her 2008 diagnosis came after she found a lump on her right breast, and doctors said she had just a 40 percent chance of surviving another five years. Cook started on a six-month course of chemotherapy,...

London -- Ray Winstone is traveling to New Zealand to star in manhunt thriller "Tracker," scheduled to shoot until early December.
Winstone stars alongside Temuera Morrison, a Kiwi native who starred in "Once Were Warriors" and the second and third installments of the "Star Wars" franchise.
The film is directed by Ian Sharp from a script by the late Nicolas van Pallandt, who died of cancer two years ago. "Tracker" marks the first of the late van Pallandt's feature scripts to be produced.
Set in 1903, "Tracker" centers on a guerrilla survivor of the South African Boer War who lands in colonial New Zealand and is promised a bounty to capture Kereama, a Maori seafarer accused of killing a British soldier.
The project has been set up as a U.K./New Zealand co-production by Eden Films and T.H.E. Film with backing from Phoenix Wiley & Liberty Films.
