    Thank you for posting the Plan C conference details.

    I do agree that more community awareness of Metastatic Breast cancer is a must , I'm currently still going through treatment and all I hear from my co workers when I visit, ( off work last 6 mths) is "how well I look ." 

     No hair , no eyebrows and 2 lonely eyelashes left , but still alive  and not at death doors like they think I should be ,which is the view of the average  person , that" Metastatic "means  a few months or a couple of years  to live and not that it can be years of living with uncertainty and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Thanks Giovanna for the summary notes. Hi @Silba -totally agree that people really don't get met bc. Don't  they actually really have any imagination that cancer is internal! Hope you and your lonely but much loved  2 eyelashes continue to travel well. All the best 😎
