For the Breast of Us lets Liz tell her MBC story
The group says living with metastatic breast cancer does not mean a woman stops having goals, ambition or a life she wants.
For MBC Awareness Day, For the Breast of Us shared Liz's story in her own words. Liz said, "I don't need you to lower your expectations because of my diagnosis."
The group says needing accommodations does not make a woman living with metastatic breast cancer any less capable. For the Breast of Us asked people to stop making assumptions about what women living with MBC can and cannot do, and to let them speak for themselves.
