As a single mom and busy real estate entrepreneur, Christen Sachs put a routine mammogram on the back burner. It took a tragedy—the death of a 34-year-old colleague from cancer—to push her to finally get screened. That screening led to a life-changing call: a diagnosis of stage one breast cancer.
Inspired by her late colleague and driven by the same determination that saw her through past hardships, Christen faced her treatment head-on. Follow her story as her doctors, Debra Camal, M.D., and David B. Greenberg, M.D., guide her through a successful lumpectomy and radiation. Discover how her relentless positivity kept her working throughout treatment and how she is now channeling her energy into advocating for early detection, mental health, and giving back to the community that once supported her. Her journey is a powerful testament to resilience and the life-saving importance of preventative care.
