AYA patients also known as adolescent & young adults are a unique population in the oncology space. They are often underserved and underrepresented. This results in missed or delayed diagnoses, insurance coverage issues, lack of support for sexual health and fertility concerns, lack of peer support groups, and impacts to career/education/relationships.
Because of this, Wren and Cait decided what better way to highlight this very specific group of thrivers than to do a segment, and following the segment, have a very special AYA MBC thriver join us on the pod!
Diagnosed with MBC at 26, Annie Boyd has made a place for herself and others on social media, specifically Tik Tok and Instagram, through sharing her experience with humor and honesty.
Join the ladies as we speak to the one and only, Annie Bond, as she shares valuable insight, advice, and of course, some laughs!
Living Our Breast Lives' "AYA May" segment was a huge hit this past month! Thank you to all our MBC thrivers who participated! Thank you for your continued support and HAPPY LISTENING!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
