Print Issue: MBC: LEGACY STORIES
MBC: LEGACY STORIES, Oct / Nov 2022, Vol 8, No 5, 101 pages
Each breast cancer awareness season, we shine a big spotlight on those in the breast cancer community living with Stage IV breast cancer in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. This year we are proud to present our 7th annual Metastatic Breast Cancer issue with the theme “Legacy Stories.” We are focusing on what "legacy" means to our community, be it the past (the legacy we carry from another), the present (the legacy we create by how we live today) or the future (how we want to be remembered). We received an outpouring of incredible stories on this theme that are important for all of us to read, whether you or someone you love has been diagnosed with MBC, or if you are simply looking for hopeful stories to help you navigate life’s challenges.
