in memoryThere is so much that we could say about each of our members who have passed away. But for the sake of brevity and privacy, we have decided to give only first names, their position with METAvivor if they had one, and the month/year of their passing. These delightful women will forever live on in our memories.

What is Metastatic Breast Cancer?
Metastatic breast cancer is the spread of breast cancer to non-adjacent parts of the body -- most commonly to the bones, liver, lungs and/or brain. At present, the disease is not considered survivable.  METAvivor hopes to help change that fact.

Join Us Every Month for Coffee at Zu's
We meet at 10:30AM every third Tuesday of the month, at Zu Coffee shop. All those with metastatic breast cancer are welcome.
METAvivor now announces a new location in Severna Park, MD!! They meet, on average, every first week of the month. Please call/email in advance to confirm monthly meeting dates.
