Today’s episode is all about Working while living with MBC.  So many of us have been threading this needle, living with difficult side effect and treatments, while keeping up with work either because we have to or because we want to.  It is no secret that the supports and safeguards for people working while living with MBC vary across the country and that protections at the federal level are still not fully fleshed out nor do they help everyone who is living and working with MBC.  It is definitely not a one size fits all situation.  With us today to help highlight things to keep in mind with employers and organizations that can help, we have assembled a panel of individuals living with MBC who are still working along with Alison Greenberg, an employment lawyer practicing in NYC.  Producers and co-hosts, Victoria Goldberg and Anne Woodward facilitated this discussion with Erin and Reilly, two women who have continued to work while raising young children and living with MBC.  In addition, we sat down for a conversation with the CEO of SHARE Cancer Support, Carol Evans, who knows a thing or two about the many issues that continue to face women who work, including women who work while living with cancer.  Carol shares lessons learned from her incredible career, prior to joining SHARE, that included being the Founder and CEO of Working Mother Media and Working Mother Magazine.  Carol is very honest about the shock of learning more about Metastatic Breast Cancer upon joining SHARE, highlighting for us all how little is still known about our disease and how it affects our lives.  We are lucky to have allies like Carol to help us raise awareness and services and supports for people living with MBC.  It takes a village and our village needs to include everyone.  Check out our blog and episode notes on our website, www.ourmbclife.org.  We are found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @ourmbclife.
