Today’s episode tackles a topic that is often misunderstood, palliative care. Many people hear the term and immediately think of end-of-life care but that’s not what palliative care is. In reality, it’s about improving quality of life, managing symptoms, and helping you live as fully and comfortably as possible, no matter where you are in your metastatic breast cancer (MBC) treatment.

We’re joined by Dr. Jones, a palliative care physician who has worked closely with people living with MBC. He brings not only medical expertise, but also deep compassion and insight into the emotional and physical needs of our community.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • What palliative care truly means
  • How to access palliative care services
  • Why integrating palliative care early can make such a meaningful difference

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with MBC for many years, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and practical information to support you on your journey.
