Community and Support

Online Support

Facebook

The Canadians with Metastatic Breast Cancer Facebook Group is a group just for Canadians living with this disease to feel safe and secure in discussing and assisting one another with the unique issues that come with having metastatic breast cancer while living in Canada. The group gives the Canadian perspective on healthcare, medications, insurance, disability, employment, and more.

Living Legacy

The Living Legacy videos honour Canadian women living with metastatic breast cancer, and demonstrate that their lives and legacies are much more than a cancer diagnosis. We asked nine women from across Canada to share their personal stories, words of support, and advice to others facing this disease.
