Sasha & Nela's Story: A Life Saving Friendship

Two friends, Sasha and Nella, join us to unravel how years of “it’s all in your head” dismissal, mounting pain, and endless referrals finally led them to a rare-yet-underdiagnosed culprit. In a story powered by patient research and friendship, Sasha’s viral TikTok becomes Nella’s lifeline, guiding her to a diagnosis, a pioneering costal margin reconstruction surgery in West Virginia, and even a successful fight to get Canada’s OHIP to fund out-of-country care.
