Re: Live interview on my local news
Go Kristin! I thought you were great! People just don't understand what metastatic breast cancer is, so anything we can do to educate the general public is a great thing in my eyes! You are a brave warrior and advocate for doing this. I'm so tired of people asking me if my treatment is done now... I think it is the number one question I get asked. And I always say it will never be done, they just look at me like they don't understand. I loved the part about how people don't die from stage 1,2, or 3, it is stage 4, metastatic cancer that kills and not enough focus is put on that. Kudos to you Kristin!
