One Scan Sparks a Lifesaving Mission for Santa Barbara’s Shira Boehler
Santa Barbara native Shira Kupperman Boehler shares her 2025 lung cancer diagnosis (Stage 1, non-smoker, no symptoms) after a preventive MRI and follow-up CT, her successful surgery, and a broader mission to raise awareness and expand access to early-detection screening through her book One Scan Saved My Life and the Cancer Doesn’t Care foundation, advocating for expanded screening guidelines and even pairing lung scans with mammograms to save lives.
