I recently had the honor of leading a breakout session at the Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta Metastatic Breast Cancer Conference. The title of the session was Thriving with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC). For many people unfamiliar with MBC, these words seem at odds with each other. We’ve become a society where metastatic or stage IV is connected to death and dying, not thriving. On behalf of the women I see in my practice, in support groups, at conferences, and those thriving in secret I’d like to explain and share what I’ve learned.
