Alina pleaded with her followers to pray for her and go to church, before thanking them and telling them how much they mean to her.
She said: “I want to ask you something, from the bottom of my heart. Please pray for me because I’m going through an incredibly difficult time.
“I have a very serious illness. They found a tumour in my breast, and I’ve now learned I have five more in my armpit. It has also spread to my bones.
“Please keep me in your prayers. If you can, go to church – that’s all I ask of you. I love you all. Take care of yourselves, and thank you.”
Alina began modelling after winning the 1998 Elite Model Look competition at the age of 16.
She has modelled for Victoria’s Secret, Gap, JCPenney and Pepe Jeans, and appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, Allure and Playboy.
She has also released two studio albums and appeared in the 2011 film Conan the Barbarian.
She has previously spoken publicly about her relationship with actor Vin Diesel and has also been reported to have dated former Formula One driver Eddie Irvine.
She has additionally been the subject of media reports alleging a past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, though she has never publicly confirmed this.
Now based in Los Angeles, Alina is under the care of doctors and is due to begin treatment on Friday (7 August).
