Self-Advocacy: Your Voice in Your Cancer Care - Metastatic Breast Cancer Trial Talk

Resources & Support

A cancer diagnosis is scary and overwhelming, and you will meet with many professionals who will offer advice about your care. It is important to remember that you have a voice and are part of the decision-making team. You know your body better than anyone.

Self-advocacy is defined as the ability to address health-related issues by making informed decisions about your health, communicating effectively with your healthcare team, and connecting with others.

Self-advocacy is important because it allows you to speak up for yourself and advocate for your care options, including learning about and considering participating in clinical trials.
