Breast Cancer Q&A - Metastatic Breast Cancer

Join Our Free Q&A – Metastatic Breast Cancer

A diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer can bring uncertainty, difficult decisions and many questions about treatment, quality of life and the future. While advances in research and new treatments are helping more people live longer and better with metastatic disease, navigating an incurable diagnosis remains deeply personal and often overwhelming.

In this upcoming Q&A, we’re bringing together a panel of leading clinicians, researchers and people with lived experience of metastatic breast cancer, to discuss the latest developments in treatment and research, while sharing practical advice and personal perspectives on living well with metastatic disease.

This event will provide a compassionate and informative space to explore the questions many people living with metastatic breast cancer—and those who love and care for them—are asking.

What we’ll cover:

The latest in research and clinical trials – Treatment for metastatic breast cancer continues to evolve rapidly. Our experts will discuss the latest advances in research, emerging therapies, personalised medicine and clinical trials, including how research is improving outcomes and creating new treatment options for people living with metastatic disease.
Treatment and making informed decisions – What are the goals of treatment? How long might treatments work, and what happens if they stop working? We’ll explore how treatment decisions are made, how tests can help guide treatment choices, the role of clinical trials, managing side effects and navigating questions around accessing therapies that may not be PBS funded.
Living well with metastatic breast cancer – Many people continue to work, travel, exercise, spend time with family and pursue meaningful goals while living with metastatic breast cancer. Our panel will discuss maintaining quality of life, setting realistic expectations, staying active where possible and adapting as needs change over time. We’ll also introduce support programs, including Finding My Way Advanced, designed specifically for people living with advanced breast cancer.
Supporting families and loved ones – Metastatic breast cancer affects not only the person diagnosed but also their family, carers and friends. Through both expert guidance and lived experience, we’ll explore the emotional impact of an incurable illness, practical ways to support one another and resources available for families throughout the journey.

Whether you’re living with metastatic breast cancer, caring for someone who is, working in healthcare, or simply want to better understand this disease, this Q&A offers trusted expert advice, real-life experiences and practical information to help you navigate the path ahead.

This conversation acknowledges the realities of metastatic breast cancer while also highlighting the progress being made through research, the importance of personalised care, and the many ways people continue to live meaningful, fulfilling lives.
