Living with hope and metastatic breast cancer - Laura Ashurst
In this episode of the Breast Cancer Now podcast, returning guest Laura Ashurst shares her experience of living nearly 20 years with metastatic breast cancer.
We want to create change and we want the landscape to be better for people who have yet to be diagnosed... We want to eliminate a post-code lottery system that exists... We want people to not be in the situation that I certainly was, where I knew absolutely nothing about the red flag signs and symptoms of metastatic breast cancer.
Laura speaks about why she thinks she has survived so long with a metastatic diagnosis, about the importance of holistic care and the importance of mental wellbeing.
She talks about her advocacy for improved treatment access, the need for more consistent support, and improved data collection for those with metastatic breast cancer.
