Linda Ockwell-Jenner is joined by Medical Oncologist, Dr. Lacey Pitre, FRCP(C) from Health Sciences North for a deeply personal conversation about Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) also known as Secondary Breast Cancer, or Stage 4 Breast Cancer.

There is a lot of research into the reasons that secondary breast cancer occurs, and by sharing this conversation Linda wants to raise awareness about this topic.

Until a cure is found the only outcome for women diagnosed with MBC is managed treatment. It’s important for those diagnosed with breast cancer to ask questions about this topic with their oncologist.

Let’s face it, from time-to-time we’ve all wondered what it would be like to be someone else. There’s no harm in wondering, but we often don’t see other’s lives as they really are, and downplay the greatness of our own.
