Each breast cancer awareness season, we shine a big spotlight on those in the breast cancer community living with Stage IV breast cancer in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. This year we are proud to present our 8th annual Metastatic Breast Cancer issue with the theme “Lessons Learned.” We are focusing on what you have learned about living in the glare of MBC. What does living with cancer mean to you and how does it affect how you live your life? Lessons come in all sizes from monumental to subtle but all represent transformations, and that's what we want to showcase in this issue.
