I would like to see more education regarding the difference between funding for MBC and non-metastatic breast cancer.

Tanya A.

I need to show my kids that I live by what I have taught them. We always told them no matter what, do your best. I have to be able to look my kids in the eye at the end of my life and say, “I gave it my best.”

Vera

We need our hope renewed. I need to stop having to say goodbye to so many sweet metasisters.

Heidi

None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, so why not soak up every moment we can with the ones we love?

It's about moments. It's all about Bonus Time, and I'm carping the hell out of each diem.

Deb

After my initial inclination to feel sorry for myself and give up any hope of being able to live long enough to do things many of us take for granted like dance at my daughter’s wedding, I decided that in order to help myself, I needed to help others.

Kelli

It isn’t the life I would have picked for myself, but it’s my life and I’m going to devote every last breath to changing the world for MBC patients and their families.

Lisa

My hope is that it may open the eyes of both breast cancer "survivors", physicians, and drug companies to the needs of women like myself.

Jennifer

I use every breath I have to enjoy my life, my husband and my kids and to spread awareness about MBC.

Debbie

I want to see more research for cures and prevention, more public awareness to the fact that breast cancer is serious stuff and often returns in a very life-threatening MBC state. I encounter far too many others in a similar situation, and it is sad and frightening.

Aurora

My name is Aurora and I’m living with metastatic breast cancer [MBC]. What does that mean for me?

“It’s cancer” are two words that nobody ever wants to hear once in their life. However, I have had the pleasure of sitting across from an Oncologist hearing those words said to me twice…before I even hit my mid 30’s.

Trisha

Before stage 4, metastatic breast cancer I was a busy mom to 2 young kids, a wife, a working pediatric nurse practitioner, a nursing professor, a Girl Scout troop leader, a moms club member, a dance mom and a dancer myself.
