Are you new to the metastatic breast cancer (MBC) community? Feeling overwhelmed by your new reality and the unknown that lies ahead?
We’ve created a space for you to be able to talk about how you’re feeling with a group of other people living with MBC. No need to hide or sugarcoat what you’re feeling – these people get it and are here for you.
During this one-hour session, mentors and facilitators who have had some more time with their MBC experience will lead a virtual community circle – an open discussion giving participants like you a gentle environment to ask questions and talk through some hard things.
Questions about things like:
- Sharing the news with people in your life
- Managing side effects
- Staying informed without falling down a Google rabbit hole
- Accessing support
- Genetic testing
- Staying present in the face of everything
- Navigating your appointments
- Palliative care
- Accessing clinical trials
We hope you’ll join us! If you have any questions about what to expect please reach out to us at support@rethinkbreastcancer.com.
