Those living with metastatic breast cancer often face unique emotions and challenges. To help meet these specific needs, NBCF offers free, self-guided metastatic retreat videos for patients and their caregivers who may not be able to attend an in-person metastatic retreat.
Led by world-renowned metastatic breast cancer expert Lillie Shockney, these virtual retreat sessions will encourage deep thinking about your diagnosis, spark meaningful conversations with your family members and loved ones, and help you prepare for the journey ahead.
