In honor of Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, Lisa Laudico is joined by special guest co-host Emily Veach, Host, and Producer of the new Happy Death podcast to interview Kate Petrides.  Kate has been an MBC Advocate since her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in 2012 at age 25.   She speaks openly about this disease and how she is approaching her diagnosis, treatment, and a lifespan that is not what she expected it to be. Kate takes us from her early stage dx and her advocacy work for MBC through her own metastatic diagnosis and how that impacted her ability to advocate. She puts out the call:  "We need early-stage help – help us move forward – lock-in arms." This is a very personal and inspiring account of life with MBC.
