💛 Help Shape a New Text Message Support Program for People Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer

We know that living with metastatic breast cancer brings unique challenges, and having access to the right support at the right time can make a real difference.

Researchers from The University of Sydney, in partnership with Breast Cancer Network Australia, are seeking feedback from people living with metastatic breast cancer to help adapt the EMPOWER-SMS text message support program so it better meets the needs of this community. 

The EMPOWER-SMS program was originally developed for people recovering from early breast cancer and was found to be helpful, motivating and supportive. This project aims to ensure the program is relevant and meaningful for people living with metastatic breast cancer.
