"I was diagnosed with Grave's disease, 'an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones,' I thought that was it, for my career ... I underwent radiation and I lost my eyelashes and eyebrows," Sia explains, but she beat the disease and she came out of it as a realist and a fighter. In 2012, life struck again, when she tripped and fell walking down a New York City street. "Again I thought, will I ever be able to work again?"
