Advocacy can take on different meanings for people. For those living with MBC, there are usually 3 different types: self-advocacy, individual advocacy and systems advocacy. All kinds of advocacy are important and effective, and we all have a role to play.

  2. A doctor who really listens and not just gives lip service to listening. Not being dismissed makes everything, including advocating for myself, easier.
