METASTATIC BREAST CANCER

Join Annabel Crabb on Q&A on Wednesday 16 September from 5-6:30pm (AEST) / 7-8:30pm (NZST) for the next Q&A event, providing a compassionate and informative space to explore the questions many people living with metastatic breast cancer—and those who love and care for them—are asking.

• The latest in research and clinical trials – Treatment for metastatic breast cancer continues to evolve rapidly. Our experts will discuss the latest advances in research, emerging therapies, personalised medicine and clinical trials, including how research is improving outcomes and creating new treatment options for people living with metastatic disease.
• Treatment and making informed decisions – What are the goals of treatment? How long might treatments work, and what happens if they stop working? We’ll explore how treatment decisions are made, how tests can help guide treatment choices, the role of clinical trials, managing side effects and navigating questions around accessing therapies that may not be PBS funded.
• Living well with metastatic breast cancer – Many people continue to work, travel, exercise, spend time with family and pursue meaningful goals while living with metastatic breast cancer. Our panel will discuss maintaining quality of life, setting realistic expectations, staying active where possible and adapting as needs change over time. We’ll also introduce support programs, including Finding My Way Advanced, designed specifically for people living with advanced breast cancer.
• Supporting families and loved ones – Metastatic breast cancer affects not only the person diagnosed but also their family, carers and friends. Through both expert guidance and lived experience, we’ll explore the emotional impact of an incurable illness, practical ways to support one another and resources available for families throughout the journey.
