Dr. Alla Shapiro was a pediatric hematologist in Kiev when she was sent as a first responder to Chernobyl, unprepared and misled by a government determined to hide the truth. She shares the stark contrast between the official story and the reality she faced, both as a doctor and a mother. After immigrating to the U.S., she rebuilt her medical career from the ground up. Years later, she was diagnosed with cancer, likely caused by radiation exposure, and found herself on the other side of the care she had spent a lifetime providing. Her story is a reflection on resilience, responsibility, and what it means to keep moving through the unknown.
