The ABC Global Alliance has joined forces with Sanofi to amplify awareness about the challenges and unaddressed needs faced by individuals living with metastatic/advanced breast cancer. Together, we aim to shed light on these issues through compelling storytelling, practical advice, and real-life illustrations. With no restrictions on topics, issues, or personal experiences, we strive to address the distinct needs and priorities of the ABC community. We invite you to be part of these crucial conversations.
One aspect of MBC care that often goes overlooked is the health and wellbeing of the caregiver. Many times, this person, who is either a friend or a family member, is asked to take on another full-time job, often at the expense of their own health. Our first Honestly Spoken discussion, “Caring for Our Caregivers,” moderated by ABC Global Alliance President Dr. Fatima Cardoso, features perspectives and tips from caregivers Linda and Sarah-jane, patient advocate Nicole and Dr. Luzia Travado, an expert in psycho-oncology.
Listen as ABC patient, Jo Taylor and an oncologist, Dr Paluch Shimon, describe how best to collaborate and how a patient can be empowered to be their own health advocate.
Note: Sadly, Jo Taylor passed away in November 2025. We are so glad to have known her, and so grateful for the timeless advice she offers here to others with ABC.
The terms that healthcare professionals use when they present the diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer to patients can sometimes be confusing. Listen to the discussion, moderated by ABC Global Alliance President Dr Fatima Cardoso, which features perspectives and tips from Dr Hope Rugo, breast medical oncologist, patient advocate Renate Haidinger and Eva Schumacher-Wulf, metastatic breast cancer patient.
What exactly is a clinical trial and why is it important to participate?
