Getting a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer can feel like getting written off. Because MBC is considered incurable, achieving official status as a “cancer survivor” remains just out of reach. So do most survivorship programs designed to support cancer patients post-treatment. But people can live with MBC for years, and they need and deserve this kind of holistic support to live their best life.
Project Life was created by people living with MBC to bridge that gap. As an online home for metastatic breast cancer patients and their loved ones, Project Life is designed to support all facets of wellness: from financial and social, to spiritual, physical and emotional. Its virtual “wellness house” is a space where members can find mentors and meet other MBC thrivers, join survivorship conversations and classes, and explore skills and knowledge that empower them to make every day the best that it can be.
