Sharsheret, Hebrew for chain, is the only national organization supporting Jewish women and families, of all backgrounds, facing breast and ovarian cancer—those who are diagnosed and those at high risk. Sharsheret is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.

On Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC) Awareness Day, we’re sharing Sandy’s story of living with Stage IV breast cancer.

In a new blog, Sandy reflects on how her perspective on cancer has shaped her journey, the importance of accepting support, and how Sharsheret has helped her navigate the challenges of living with metastatic breast cancer. Her story is a reminder that no one should have to navigate a cancer journey alone.
