Anne was diagnosed de novo stage IV metastatic in Dec. 2015 at the age of 46. She left a 28 year career in television news and content production due to metastatic breast cancer and the ongoing side effects of treatment two years after diagnosis. Aside from being one of the founding volunteers with the Our MBC Life podcast, she also became a SHARE Cancer Support and American Cancer Society helpline volunteer, as well as other areas where she can have a direct impact with individuals living with MBC.

The Our MBC Life senior producers and co-hosts, Victoria Goldberg and Natalia Green join Anne Woodward in a conversation about the upcoming season 5 of the podcast and some new things the team is doing and exciting details for very special giveaways for the Our MBC Life merchandise.
The Our MBC Life podcast hosts a panel to discuss what it’s really like to be diagnosed stage 4 from the beginning or de novo MBC. Those of us diagnosed de novo don’t get an introduction to breast cancer at earlier stages and that presents some unique issues.
Want to know why we call it “magic?” Hear from people living with MBC about their experiences. While they all agree and encourage others to seek Palliative Care they also are aware of the barriers to access. Our guests cover it all. And it gets real.
“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.
Working while Living with MBC. A panel of MBC patients share their experiences working while living with MBC and we talk to an Alison Greenberg, an employment lawyer about what’s important when communicating your diagnosis at work.
Carol Evans, CEO and Executive Director, joins us to talk about her vision for SHARE’s future, how the metastatic community has changed how she thinks about breast cancer and her trailblazing career in media. We also talk about coping with COVID and cancer in the workplace.
Tom Scalera talks about what motivates him to carry on the work his wife, Rebecca Timlin-Scalera, started at The Cancer Couch Foundation. He joins Lisa in this episode to talk about the need for research, new treatments, and how Covid has impacted the grief process.
Hear from listeners and guests with their Just Gotta Share moments and meet the Our MBC Life team.
