Love the podcast? Send us a text!

In this episode we offer a panel discussion and focus on the questions children ask when you explain to them that you have metastatic breast cancer.   Depending on the ages of your children, they will have different levels of understanding. We explore these variables, share tactics and leave you with examples. You are not alone in these conversations! 

QUOTES WE LOVE
