CHAI GAVE US OUR MUMMY BACK “When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I just didn’t know what to do. I was torn between having my treatment in Israel, where our families are, or here, where our life is in London. Then my oncologist told me about Chai. Thanks to Chai’s all-encompassing support, we’re together as a family again.”
