"MBC doesn't mean you look sick but there are many side effects to cope with and they vary all the time." - Cathie
Cathie is part of BCNA’s metastatic breast cancer Lived Experience Reference Group using her lived experience to help inform BCNA’s policy, advocacy, and service development priorities.
She says "sometimes, people say I look great, but that day I may have nausea, aches, pain, brain fog, extreme fatigue or waiting for scan results to find out whether the cancer inside is stable. Saying I look good is nice but it can sometimes feel dismissive."
BCNA’s Online Network has a discussion forum for people with metastatic breast cancer to connect and share their experience with others going through the same thing. You can join via the link https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/group/2-living-with-metastatic-breast-cancer
