Today, we're starting a new profile series featuring participants, loved ones, advocates, and team members of the MBCproject. Thank you to all who have shared their voice and stories.
Today's profile features Ilene Matises-Fogelman.
Q1. In your own words, can you share with us your reasons for joining the Metastatic Breast Cancer project (MBCproject)?
It’s important for EVERYONE to be counted. In addition, feel that there may be something that we all have in common that could be the link to finding a cure.
Q2. Please tell us what being a part of the MBCproject means to you.
All of our voices are important. My voice is important. I want to be part of finding a cure.
Q3. If you'd like to share, please tell us how it felt when you were diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
Devastated. My daughter’s life without me flashed in front of my eyes.
Q4. In a few words, can you please share with us your hopes for the future of metastatic breast cancer?
My hope is that a cure is found. If not a cure, then a way to treat it as a chronic disease where people can have a quality of life that involves work, play and joy. A life that doesn’t involve treatment, pain and uncertainty for the future.
