Survivorship is about achieving quality of life on a daily basis.

Support resources normalize your experience on the journey of survivorship.

Patients with a condition such as metastatic breast cancer tend to be pretty savvy. The risk comes with people that “just Google” for information.

Male breast cancer is an issue but it is ignored as “statistically insignificant”.

Patients need a story they can relate to when they are making treatment decisions.
