PI(3)King the right target after CDK4/6 inhibitors fail patients is an exciting area of research and FDA approval. Now that there are multiple options approved by the FDA and more to come, patients have more treatment choices. Join host Abigail Johnston as she interviews 2 patients who give us their perspective on these advances, as well as a doctor whose scientific research has led the way identifying PIK3CA mutations as a cancer genomic biomarker.

To live with your own diagnosis or to be a loved one, caregiver, or friend of someone with MBC is to inhabit a community of loss. “We Remember” is our opportunity to give voice to the profound grief we share and to honor and celebrate each person lost to this disease. It’s a chance for the MBC community to express gratitude for the extraordinary and unique ways they made our lives richer.

After a Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) diagnosis, patients and the people around them are often left reeling and looking around to figure out how to make some sort of meaning from the trauma. The guests and representatives from LBBC and METAvivor on this episode share how finding purpose in the midst of adversity has helped them to truly LIVE with MBC. Don’t forget to listen all the way to the end as guest producer, Abigail Johnston, has some specific calls to action to share!

Join us for our annual We Remember episode where we have invited our listeners to share the names and stories of the people they have loved and who have died from MBC over these past 12 months. Together we share the grief and loss of everyone who has died from MBC. Thanks for listening.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz shares with us the power of the patient advocate voice and the impact of personal stories. She talks about how her own experience with breast cancer has shaped her approach to issues related to healthcare. We are so thrilled to get a legislator’s perspective as we explore Our MBC Life.

“I see so much in the metastatic community this idea of just paying it forward, this idea of, yeah, this might not actually help me right now, but I'm still going to bring it up and I'm still going to advocate for it because it will help somebody else.” This is the story about the power of advocacy. Meet some of the individuals and organizations who are advocating for metastatic breast cancer every day wherever the work takes them.

We dedicate this podcast on Parenting while Living with MBC to Heidi Armitage Green. Heidi’s son Walker shares his experience before and after she died. We also hear from Natalia Green and others on how they talk with their children about their metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. Learn about resources you can use for your own converations.
