Join Living Our Breast Lives founder, Wren, and special guest, Tami Eagle Bowling, the creator of LightUpMBC Live, for this powerful and uplifting episode as they discuss Tami's continued efforts for funding Metastatic Breast Cancer research, helping to create a better future for all diagnosed!
With no family history, at the age of 41, Tami Eagle Bowling was diagnosed with ER+ HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer. Seemingly healthy, doing cardio kickboxing one day, and being told she had a 2-3 year life expectancy a few weeks later was a diagnosis she never would have anticipated. She had to adapt to this unexpected bombshell in her life when her children were just two and four years old. In order to thrive, she began to embrace the uncertainty of her daily life. She has now been living with Metastatic Breast Cancer for nine years and shares her story to inspire others!
