Description

Welcome to this bonus episode of Our MBC Life. We are pleased to again highlight a program from our parent non-profit SHARE Cancer Support.  We are less than 1 week away from Season 2. The premiere episode will drop on March 1.  While we do that, we hope you catch up on any episodes you missed from Season 1. Our MBC Life is a part of the metastatic breast cancer program at SHARE Cancer Support. SHARE has many programs to support women living with MBC including the Talk METS Helpline, several virtual support groups, and educational and wellness programs. We are thrilled to highlight another important program presented by SHARE a few weeks ago. For many of us living with cancer there are numerous questions about COVID-19, the vaccines, and what we need to know to best take care of ourselves. How do we know if the vaccine is effective for cancer patients if we were not included in the trials? Can I continue my treatment while getting the vaccine? What about certain types of chemo and reactions? Should I get the vaccine if I’ve already had Covid? What about my immune system, am I at greater risk?On February 11 SHARE invited Dr. Joshua Hill from Fred Hutchinson Research Center to discuss the COVID-19 Vaccine in relation to cancer patients and their treatment.You may check out our blog and episode notes, www.ourmbclife.org.  We are also found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @ourmbclife.
