MBC Newsletter August 2021

Please join me next, Thursday, August 5 th on Zoom at 3:00 pm for the Metastatic Breast Cancer
Support Group. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Just as a note, it was so great to finally be able to see each other in person that we have decided
to make every second support meeting an in-person covid friendly meeting. We will meet at
outdoor venues while the weather is warm and reassess this as the weather starts to change.
More information will be sent prior to each meeting.
And in other news
Jody has sent me some great YouTube videos. The first is a good overview of current
treatments, and what to expect with first-line, second-line, etc. It was posted on YouTube in
January.

The second is a great discussion on the divide between MBC people and early-stagers, and how
each group might be helpful to the other.

Exercise Classes
Moving for Life has free on-line dance exercise classes for those affected by cancer. They offer
a variety of times and dates.

The diagnosis of MBC can put us into a tailspin both emotionally and intellectually with all the
new and sometimes confusing information that is being given to us. Living Beyond Breast
Cancer has a great page on how to make sense of all this new information, what questions to
ask and how to begin to understand what is going on in our lives.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or if you’d like to make sure that we have a
discussion about a particular subject when we do our support group. I am ALWAYS just an email
or a phone call away.

Stay safe everyone!!!
