What happens when the treatment keeping your cancer under control stops working?

Dakota shares the news that her current metastatic breast cancer treatment has stopped working, what progression in her brain means, and the reality of preparing for radiation and a new treatment plan while living with metastatic breast cancer.

But this conversation goes well beyond treatment. We talk about the fear of an uncertain future, the heartbreak of watching someone you love go through something you can't fix, survivor's guilt, friendship, grief and why sometimes you don't need someone to tell you everything will be okay. You just need someone to sit beside you and say, "Yeah, this is really effing shit."

And because it's us, there are tears, plenty of inappropriate jokes and a whole lot of oversharing along the way. We also share some really special moments from the past few weeks, including our work with Sussan, Breast Cancer Network Australia and LSKD, and why creating memories together has taken on a whole new meaning.

Plus, a little update on what's next for Bits & Boobs, why you'll be hearing more of the two of us together and how we want YOU to help shape the conversations we have moving forward.

This one is raw, emotional, a little chaotic and probably one of the most personal conversations we've shared.

Come sit with us. x
