S01 E13: Interview with MBC Advocate Katherine O'Brien
Show Notes

Kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we interview Katherine O’Brien, a leading force in MBC advocacy since 2009.  Katherine was diagnosed with MBC in 2009 at the age of 43 and she quickly recognized that there were very few media accounts featuring people living with a Stage IV diagnosis.  As a full-time writer and so she decided to change this lack of media coverage of MBC using the power of her pen.  Katherine was the co-chair of the Awareness Task Force for the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance also known as MBCA, developing the new Here ALL Year initiative that is launching this month. All this and more can also be found in our episode notes on our website, www.ourmbclife.org.  We are found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @ourmbclife.
