Strength and Grace: Sadako Akashi, Breast Surgeon

In Japan today, one in 11 women is diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadako Akashi has been treating this illness for a quarter of a century. At 52, she's one of Japan's top surgeons, and has performed more than 3,000 operations. The core of her approach is informed consent, and treatment that her patients understand and choose. Some may request the removal of their entire breast, but wish to keep the nipple intact. Akashi gives 100% effort to fulfilling such challenging requests. One of her patients is a woman of 40 intent on living life as she wishes while undergoing treatment for stage-4 breast cancer.
