Enjoy Living Our Breast Lives' last podcast episode of the year!
Join Wren Morrobel, founder of the Living Our Breast Lives podcast, and Caroline Johnson, the founder of Twisted Pink, a nonprofit dedicated to funding critical research for Metastatic Breast Cancer! Together, they delve into the nonprofit's framework, the impact of allyship in advocating for the MBC community as an early-stage survivor, and their shared takeaways from the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium!
Caroline Johnson—a patient advocate, wife, mom of three, and an 11-year stage three breast cancer survivor—shares her inspiring mission to direct critical funding toward Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer research. Her passion for advocacy stems from years of championing her son, born with a rare genetic deletion called BBSOAS. These profound medical and healthcare experiences not only shaped her advocacy journey but also empowered her to navigate her own breast cancer diagnosis with strength and determination.
Caroline’s unwavering dedication to supporting the MBC community shines through every time she speaks. She remains a passionate advocate for improved healthcare systems and policies benefiting individuals with rare diseases and cancer. As an early-stage survivor, she feels grateful to continue preventative treatment to this day, stay informed about clinical trials, and emphasize the vital role research plays in advancing cancer care.
