Information will be provided about survivorship issues, new treatments, and concerns for women newly diagnosed with metastatic cancer, in order to empower them to be active participants in their cancer journey. Frankly Speaking About Advanced Breast Cancer is created by The Wellness Community – National in collaboration with Living Beyond Breast Cancer and made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from GlaxoSmithKline Oncology, AstraZeneca and Abraxis.
