Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer
Community and Support
Supporting Your Mental Health
Living with metastatic breast cancer can affect your mental and emotional health in many ways. Alongside managing any physical symptoms you may have from your treatment, it is common to experience changes in mood and how you cope day to day.
Mental health support is an important part of living well with metastatic breast cancer and can be incorporated into a palliative care plan.
Some people benefit from connecting with other people living with mBC, while some prefer to speak with trained mental health professionals, such as a counsellor, psychologist, or social worker. Therapy and counselling can provide a safe space to talk through your fears and the impact of mBC on daily life and relationships.
There is no single right type of support. Many people use a combination of professional care, peer support, and online communities, depending on their needs or preferences.
In this section you will find information about:
- Peer Support: including connecting with others living with metastatic breast cancer
- Online Support: such as virtual groups or digital resources
