Why This Matters

​

While metastatic breast cancer is lifelong, this program provides short-term relief during high-intensity treatment periods — ensuring responsible stewardship while delivering meaningful, timely support.​

​

  • Increased confidence in treatment decision-making

  • Improved understanding of metastatic and early-stage care

  • Stronger peer-to-peer support networks

  • Decreased isolation among participants

  • Participants returning home feeling informed, connected, and empowered

How To Apply

​

Applications open annually and will be published on this website and announced in our weekly newsletter.  Scholarships are available to individuals diagnosed with breast cancer and we encourage individuals who have not previously attended these conferences and who are involved in our SBC community to apply.
