Searching for Unicorns: Exceptional Survivors and Responders
In this episode, we spoke with five extraordinary individuals who have surpassed prognosis expectations and continue to live with MBC far longer than anyone could have predicted. They spoke about their experiences as exceptional survivors and responders, what being a “unicorn” means to them, and offered insightful advice on living with MBC. We also spoke with Dr. Mark Burkard and Dr. Stephanie Graff to find out more about studying outliers and what we can learn from them.
