Listen Later

Living with metastatic breast cancer is exhausting—physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It never takes a day off, and sometimes you just wish you could too. In this episode of I’m Still Here: Lessons from Life with Metastatic Breast Cancer, Heather explores the very real longing to take a “vacation” from MBC.

You’ll hear why the constant weight of appointments, scanxiety, side effects, and even other people’s expectations can feel overwhelming—and why it’s perfectly normal to want a break. More importantly, you’ll discover small but powerful ways to give yourself permission to rest, escape, and find peace, even if cancer never fully leaves the room.

💡 If you’ve ever thought, “I just need one day without cancer,” this episode is for you.
