Description

Living with metastatic breast cancer is hard enough, but for those who are single or do not have a primary caregiver, living alone with MBC can be especially challenging. Even if you're used to being independent, having cancer and going through treatment when you live alone raises many challenges.  Making space for all that you are feeling & managing the practical things of day to day may sometimes feel overwhelming but with some extra planning and working out who can support you, it is possible to continue to live alone and well even when you have MBC.In this episode, we have a panel of four amazing ladies who share their experiences with living alone while navigating their MBC diagnosis and treatment. Then, we talk to Dr. Jane Lowers, Monica Bryant of Triage Cancer, and Lesley Glenn of Project Life about resources that can help us live alone and well with MBC.   There are many ways to make things easier emotionally and practically. We hope that in this episode you feel seen. *Note: individuals in this episode share their thoughts on medical aid in dying as one part of this rich discussion.  MUSIC CREDITS: "Honey Jam" by Massobeats"Onion" by LuKremBo"Exit to Nowhere" by DRG1991
