Karla is a Tigerlily ANGEL Advocate and thankful to be attending the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) for the second time. She is committed to learning as much as she can to then in turn educate her community and make sure the latest breakthroughs and information are available to all breast cancer patients.

We caught up with Maricia soon after she attended a session on Day 2 at SABCS. The topic was Brain Metastasis Treatment. She left that late afternoon session with new insights — and new questions.

Kawana is both a tireless Tigerlily ANGEL Advocate as well as a board-certified Wellness Coach. Through her professional lens and firsthand experiences, we were eager to catch up with her after attending SABCS 2022.

The second-to-last day of SABCS left Erin Perkins feeling especially happy, hopeful, and heard. Diagnosed with Triple-Negative IDC1 Stage llB while nursing her infant son about a year ago, she was seeking new information at the conference to help inform and guide future plans for her family and others like her.

We were eager to hear Brooklyn’s perspective on a SABCS session outlining the current pros and cons around duration of endocrine therapy. Her ability to absorb that discussion, both as a breast cancer patient in active treatment, as well as a medication expert on a health care team, makes her a unique ANGEL Advocate.
