We talk about metastatic cancer! You never need to struggle alone. Help is near!
Twenty years ago, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) simply wasnāt discussed. While the broader community focused on early detection, Living Beyond Breast Cancer recognized a gap in support. In 2005, we conducted the worldās first survey to understand people living with MBC. The message was clear: People living with MBC needed reliable medical information, and, above all, each other.
Driven by these findings, LBBC launched the first in-person Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer in 2007. Just as many celebrate a ācancerversaryā to reflect and honor their journey, in 2026, LBBC celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer this weekend.
As the medical landscape has seen great leaps forward, LBBC has remained unwavering in its commitment to supporting and educating the MBC community. Over two decades, we have welcomed more than 10,000 attendees to find expertise and connection at the Conference. Now, we invite you to connect with this shared history and hope you find inspiration for what the next 20 years may bring.
Learn more and join us in celebrating just a few of the remarkable changemakers who built on their advocacy work at LBBC and went on to have an outsized impact on the community. We hope their stories inspire you to make every moment count. https://bit.ly/3Qhkx61
