National Breast Cancer Coalition

[upbeat music] Hello, everybody.

Today, we have Fran Visco here with us today, uh, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, to talk about a guest editorial she penned in last week's issue of The Cancer Letter along with Michelle Tregear, who is chief programs officer at NBCC, about the Metastatic Breast Cancer Act.

Thank you so much for being here, and I was wondering if we could start with just sort of an explanation of the... what the act is and, um, what it's trying to accomplish and what the problem is.

Sure.

Oh, also, wanna remind you, uh, please, the St. Jude Foundation, the St. Jude, uh, series of hospitals, uh, always accepting donations to provide free care to children who have life-altering illnesses, like cancer.

Their main hospital in Memphis, we'll put a link in the show notes, and also, the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund, both of those things we're focusing on for the next couple of days.

If you would be so kind as to drop a few dollars their way, the link on the show notes goes directly to their website.

We do not get in the middle of it.

This is a good place to take a break I think, Christina.

Let's take a break.

Uh, just a quick reminder, the St. Jude's Foundation and the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund, both of those links down below in the show notes.

Uh, do us a favor and maybe yourself a favor in the future, you never know.
