Living over 1,500 miles away from her native home, 33-year-old Sagal, a mother and math teacher in London, faced an unexpected challenge. At an age when many women have yet to undergo their first screening mammograms, she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. The malignancy had spread to the lymph nodes in her breast and liver. The shock was palpable. "I couldn't believe it; I was only 33 and had maintained a relatively healthy lifestyle," recalls Sagal.
