Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer (TNBC) study

STUDY DETAILS
Vicki Barghout, is leading a study to learn more about the impacts of Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer (TNBC) and its symptoms. She is offering $100 for participation in a 35–45-minute online survey for those that qualify.

At the end of the survey, qualified participants will also have the option to opt in for a potential follow-up interview, which offers an additional $110.

This research is being conducted on behalf of a pharmaceutical company, and the insights gathered will help inform efforts to improve care and support for people living with metastatic TNBC.

Study details: The goal of this research is to better understand the full metastatic TNBC experience, including personal perspectives, challenges in navigating the healthcare system, unmet educational needs, treatment experiences, and decision-making processes. Your input will help us create an informative educational resource that directly benefits others with this diagnosis.

If you're interested, please start by completing the short pre-survey at the link below. If you qualify, you’ll be immediately directed to the full survey.

WERQing out for Sharing the Knowledge!

We had an absolute blast WERQ-ing it out on Saturday — huge THANK YOU to the incredible staff and instructors at the Princeton Club-Fitchburg for bringing the energy! 💜

Special shout-out to Laura Vassalli, Group Fitness Manager, and Kari Cataldo, BCR Board member and volunteer, for putting together such a fun Sharing the Knowledge event.

Five amazing instructors (plus a bonus instructor/videographer!) kept us moving — and let's say one staff member confidently danced to her *own* choreography in the corner 😂.

Thanks to a fantastic turnout and everyone's generosity, we raised $750 for Breast Cancer Recovery. We're so grateful — and already looking forward to the next dance party!

The next and final step is in the hands of the full Assembly and its leadership.
If our partner, Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition, and their supporters do not convince them to put the bill on the floor for a vote before the legislative session ends in February, the bill will die for the third time.

Please take a few moments to call and/or email your representatives to ensure they know the fate of this necessary bill is in their hands. They must express support for it getting a full vote and encourage their colleagues to do the same. Women's lives literally depend upon it, and they need to know we are watching. We have waited long enough.
