We Remember

We Remember

Our annual “We Remember” episode honors all who died from metastatic breast cancer since last October and gives voice to the grief and love that endures after each death. Each name shared is a tiny marker of a full, messy, beloved life and each one leaves behind an expansive network of loved ones.  For those of us in the MBC community, the loss of our friends is particularly devastating & the cumulative losses are heavy.  You are not alone in your grief.  We invite you to bear witness with us to this outpouring of love for those we have lost.

It’s a chance for the MBC community to express gratitude for the extraordinary and unique ways they made our lives richer.

Grab those negative covid tests and passports because we travel around the world in this episode!  Oh yeah, get your proof of vaccination and N95s too since this thing ain’t over yet sadly.  We wanted to learn how others living with and advocating for MBC deal with it all in other places. So we travel virtually to Canada, Japan, Kuwait, Egypt, Australia, Portugal, Kenya, Nigeria, and the UK.  Co-hosts Natalia Green, Sheila McGlown, Lisa Laudico, and Anne Woodward find out what it’s like to get a second opinion in Europe & Canada, or why MBC is called Advanced Breast Cancer in some places, or how getting drugs in some countries is like applying for a car loan, or the debilitating stigma of cancer and so much more.
