Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a difficult diagnosis to receive, and every person’s experience with the disease is different and can change over time. Building a team of health care providers — what we'll refer to as a "treatment team" — that can help you set personal and treatment-related goals, and provide support at every step of the way may help you. Your treatment team can provide guidance for treatment decision making, and help you navigate the physical, emotional and social challenges associated with MBC.
Make Your Dialogue Count was developed by Novartis, in partnership with a Steering Committee of oncology health care providers and experts, to help those impacted by MBC navigate the treatment landscape and life with MBC. Steering Committee members were paid for their time consulting on the project.
