Many people are unfamiliar with Postpartum Breast Cancer (PPBC), a little-known subset of breast cancer that occurs in women within 10 years of childbirth. This episode of our podcast delves into this personal topic for several members of our team.

Drs. Virginia Borges and Pepper Schedin are launching the first-ever clinical trial to prevent PPBC. Their groundbreaking approach involves giving healthy new mothers a brief course of ibuprofen as they wean their babies from breastfeeding. This trial holds huge potential for global impact, and the doctors need the public’s help to make it happen.

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.

On today's episode, we are thrilled to discuss an important and often misunderstood area of oncology- biosimilars and their increasing use in cancer care. You might be curious, what exactly are biosimilars? How are they developed and approved? And most importantly, how are they transforming the lives of patients diagnosed with cancer?  We will break down these questions and more as we explore this with an overview from Dr. Julie Gralow, a breast medical oncologist and chief medical officer at the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

We are thrilled to present an audio version of SHARE Cancer Support’s webinar “Report Back from ASCO 2024: Latest Updates on HR+ Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)”.

Hear from Dr. Kevin Kalinsky as we dive into the findings from the DESTINY-Breast06 and postMONARCH trials, exploring their implications and potential impact on treatment strategies.

There’s a lot of research about how diet and exercise can have a positive effect on survivorship for those with early-stage breast cancer, but about for those of us with MBC? In this episode, we are delighted to bring you a conversation with Dr. Neil Iyengar, a prominent oncologist and researcher known for his deep interest in how lifestyle affects a variety of outcomes. Emerging research and patient experiences are showing that exercise and diet can play a vital role in improving quality of life and may even enhance treatment outcomes. We discuss the science behind diet and exercise along with strategies for balancing lifestyle changes while prioritizing what matters most to us. Whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or a healthcare professional, this episode is packed with valuable information and insights!

Today’s episode is the first in a three part series covering all things related to bone metastasis. In this episode, we discuss the basics with Dr. Azeez Farooki and Dr. Monica Fornier, both specialists in their fields at MSK, diving into the latest breakthroughs in bone disease and breast cancer research. Topics include theories on why breast cancer spreads to the bones, as well as new drug protocols shaping the future of bone metastasis research and treatment. We unlock the wisdom of these top experts as they bridge the gaps between advancing research and patient care in a thought provoking conversation.

Anne Woodward sits down with a special guest to discuss the in’s and outs of having MBC while living in the public eye. Get ready folks, pull up a chair you are not going to want to miss hearing from Kelly Crump, the first ever sports illustrated swimsuit model photographed while posing on a picturesque beach in a gorgeous swimsuit with a mastectomy scar for all the world to see. In this incredible interview Kelly explains how she embraced social media to live out loud and in doing so harnessed all the attention to be an inspiration and help her 30,000 + followers.

What does it mean when our cancer shows progression? And how do we know when that happens? The Our MBC Life team gets the lowdown from Dr. Stephanie L. Graff.

What can we, as patients, do to strengthen our communication and relationships with our oncologists? This episode of Our MBC Life, the first in our MBC 101 series, includes perspectives, insights and suggestions from both sides of the critical doctor-patient relationship

The Road to a Cure series gets on the redeye to LA to have Senior Producer and Co-host, Victoria Goldberg and co-host Kate Pfitzer speak with Dr. Sara Hurvitz. She talks about her perspective on where we are as we work for a cure, the HER2+ studies she is excited about, and other research that is intriguing as it relates to all subtypes

The podcast team has embarked upon something quite ambitious. The members of the team have traveled virtually to speak with the leading clinicians and researchers in the field of breast cancer, specifically on the topic of where we are in terms of a cure for metastatic breast cancer. It is impossible to cover it in a neat single episode, so, instead, we created a very special series of episodes that we call “Road to A Cure.” In this premiere episode the members of the creative team share with the audience what it means to live with an incurable disease. We talk about a possibility of a cure, address the real fear of hoping, and tackle these and many other important issues.
