    Jul 11 2023
    In this episode, Wren and Cait talk candidly about what its like to live with an incurable diagnosis; from the need for, or lack of, support to discussing the unexpected ways cancer changed (and continues to change) their lives to sharing some insight into how to offer support to someone who is on "treatment for life".

  • Incurably Funny with AYA Thriver - Annie Boyd!

    Incurably Funny with AYA Thriver - Annie Boyd!
    Jun 2 2023
    Living Our Breast Lives' "AYA May" segment was a huge hit this past month! Thank you to all our MBC thrivers who participated! AYA patients also known as adolescent & young adults are a unique population in the oncology space. They are often underserved and underrepresented. This results in missed or delayed diagnoses, insurance coverage issues, lack of support for sexual health and fertility concerns, lack of peer support groups, and impacts to career/education/relationships. Because of this, cohosts Wren and Cait decided what better way to highlight this very specific group of thrivers than to do a segment, and following the segment, have a very special AYA MBC thriver join us on the pod! Diagnosed with MBC at 26, our guest has made a place for herself and others on social media, specifically Tik Tok and Instagram, through sharing her experience with humor and honesty. To conclude our "AYA May" segment, join the ladies as we speak to the one and only, Annie Bond, as she shares valuable insight, advice, and of course, some laughs! Thank you for your continued support and HAPPY LISTENING!
