Welcome to our podcast! In this first episode we will introduce ourselves, and tell you a little about who we are. We will also discuss how Heather learned that she had metastatic breast cancer at the age of 26. Hold on, it's quite a ride! I'm Still Here is hosted by Heather and Larry Jose. Heather was diagnosed with Stage IV (Metastatic) Breast Cancer in 1998 at age 26. Heather has lived with metastatic breast cancer for over 20 years and is often contacted by women asking for help with their diagnosis and transition to life with mets. Heather and Larry want to share the things that have helped them over the years and talk about issues related to cancer that rarely get talked about.  IG: @heatherjose FB: Heather Jose I'm Still Here lyrics written by @Sanjay, our awesome son!  #livingwithmets #fearofrecurrence #canceradvocate #livingwithcancer #cancersucks #metastaticcancersurvivor #breastcancerpodcast

While cleaning and decluttering, Heather came across a stack of books that carried her through the early years of living with cancer. Some were informational. Some were inspirational. And some simply helped her feel seen.In this episode, Heather and Larry talk through those books—not as prescriptions or promises, but as companions during a time when reaching for anything steady mattered. They reflect on why certain voices, stories, and practices were helpful, how repetition and slowing down supported Heather’s mindset, and how mental and emotional care became just as important as physical treatment.The conversation then expands into what building a “library” looks like today. Not just books—but audio, YouTube, meditation, journaling, saved resources, and non-cancer content that helps regulate fear, doubt, and overwhelm. Heather shares how she now thinks about choosing resources that feel safe, grounding, and accessible—and why what helps can (and should) change over time.This episode is an honest look at what it means to feed your mind with care, build a personal support library, and give yourself permission to reach for whatever helps you feel a little more steady.If you have books, videos, or resources that have helped you through a hard season, Heather invites you to share them—so we can help each other build libraries that hold us.Available Now!👉 Break the Cancer Spiral – Heather’s 15-minute guide to reset your mindset anytime life feels overwhelmingYou can grab Heather’s new 15-Minute Reset guide and her 5 to Thrive series at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shop.heatherjose.com/stop-the-cancer-spiral⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧 About the Podcast:I’m Still Here: Lessons from Life with Metastatic Breast Cancer is hosted by Heather and Larry Jose.

A new year often comes with pressure to set goals, do more, and fix ourselves. But when you’re living with metastatic breast cancer, that framework can feel exhausting — and disconnected from reality.In this New Year episode, we talk about a different way forward. One that starts by asking a more honest question:What do I need this year?Because when cancer doesn’t reset on January 1st, the goal isn’t reinvention — it’s living.We explore:Why living with metastatic breast cancer is already enoughLetting go of “shoulds” and redefining progressShifting from performance to presenceCreating anchors instead of rigid routinesTrusting what your body and life are asking for right nowWhy rest matters — and why engagement still does tooThis is an honest, grounded conversation about living well with metastatic disease — without pretending it’s easy, and without waiting for life to begin “after.”You’re not behind.You’re not broken.And you don’t need to fix yourself to deserve a meaningful life.Living is the goal.🎧 New episodes every Wednesday📩 Follow along on Instagram & YouTube: @imstillherepodcast💛 Mindset resources and guides available at heatherjose.com

After 27 years of living with metastatic breast cancer, I attended the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium for the first time — not knowing what to expect, or even if I would feel like I belonged.What I found was something I didn’t realize I’d been missing: connection, affirmation, and a growing movement focused not just on survival, but on living well with metastatic disease.In this episode, I share:What it was like attending SABCS as a patient advocateWhy quality of life matters just as much as treatment advancesHow patient advocacy is evolving — and where I see myself in itWhat it means to finally feel like these are my peopleThis conversation is about belonging, purpose, and using our voices — especially for those living with metastatic breast cancer who are navigating life beyond the early days of diagnosis.If you’re living with cancer, supporting someone who is, or wondering how to keep moving forward when the path feels uncertain, this episode is for you.If you’re looking for practical, compassionate support for living well with cancer, you can find my guides here:👉 Guides & Resources: https://shop.heatherjose.com/all-guidesEach guide can stand alone, and many people choose more than one to support different phases of their journey.📸 Instagram: @heatherjose🌐 Website: https://heatherjose.com🎙 Podcast: I’m Still Here: Lessons from Life with Metastatic Breast CancerIf this episode resonated with you, please follow the podcast and share it with someone who might need it.Episode DescriptionResources & SupportConnect With Me

In this powerful episode, Larry and I go back to the week in December 1998 that changed our lives forever. What started as a routine appointment just before the holidays quickly became a devastating spiral of tests, unanswered questions, and the phone call that revealed I had stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at only 26 years old.We share:The moment my doctor noticed something was wrongThe shock of hearing “It’s cancer” days before ChristmasThe traumatic appointment where I was told to get my affairs in orderHow a second oncologist offered hope and completely changed my prognosisWhat those early days of fear, uncertainty, and survival really felt likeHow this diagnosis became the foundation for the life and mission I have todayIf you’re navigating a new cancer diagnosis, living with metastatic breast cancer, or supporting someone who is, this honest conversation is for you. This is the story I wish I could have heard back then — a story about fear, resilience, terrible doctors, life-saving doctors, and the spark of hope that carried me forward.27 years later, I’m still here. And I want you to know that hope is real.

The holidays hit different when you’re living with cancer. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Heather and Larry talk about the emotional weight of the season — the pressure to make everything perfect “just in case,” the anxiety that comes with big family gatherings, and the guilt of not being able to keep up with old traditions.They dive into boundaries, expectations, caregiver dynamics, and the internal struggle of wanting to savor the moments while also feeling overwhelmed by them. From navigating relatives’ questions to simplifying holiday plans to protecting your energy, this episode is full of validation, humor, and practical ways to make this season more manageable.If you’re dealing with metastatic breast cancer — or supporting someone who is — this one will help you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.Available Now!👉 Break the Cancer Spiral – Heather’s 15-minute guide to reset your mindset anytime life feels overwhelmingYou can grab Heather’s new 15-Minute Reset guide and her 5 to Thrive series at ⁠⁠⁠https://shop.heatherjose.com/stop-the-cancer-spiral⁠⁠⁠🎧 About the Podcast:I’m Still Here: Lessons from Life with Metastatic Breast Cancer is hosted by Heather and Larry Jose.

In this episode, Heather opens the door to a conversation many people living with metastatic cancer think about privately — but rarely speak aloud:You are allowed to live.You are allowed to plan ahead.You are allowed to imagine a future that is yours.Heather shares how, at 26, she was told her life would narrow — that cancer meant shrinking dreams, shorter plans, smaller horizons. Twenty-seven years later, she is proof that life doesn’t end where statistics suggest it should. It unfolds. It evolves. It can even expand.Inside this episode, we explore:🌿 Rejecting statistics + choosing your own story🌿 The clarity cancer brings: what matters vs. what doesn’t🌿 Why planning isn’t denial — it’s hope in motion🌿 Living your life instead of the one others expect🌿 Releasing guilt, comparison, and shrinking to fit🌿 Mary Oliver’s question that changes everything:“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”This is your invitation to dream again — to think about 2026, the future you desire, and the everyday steps that move you toward it. Cancer may have changed your path, but it does not get to own your future.Available Now!👉 Break the Cancer Spiral – Heather’s 15-minute guide to reset your mindset anytime life feels overwhelmingYou can grab Heather’s new 15-Minute Reset guide and her 5 to Thrive series at ⁠⁠https://shop.heatherjose.com/stop-the-cancer-spiral⁠⁠🎧 About the Podcast:I’m Still Here: Lessons from Life with Metastatic Breast Cancer is hosted by Heather and Larry Jose.

Let’s Talk About Sex – After CancerAfter cancer, everyone tells you “you look great”—but looking fine isn’t the same as feeling whole. In this candid, funny, and deeply honest conversation, Heather and Larry talk about what intimacy really looks like after diagnosis and treatment: grief over a changing body (and lost fertility), reconstruction that “looks” like breasts but doesn’t feel like them, early menopause, fear, shame, and how they slowly rebuilt connection.They share the practical stuff that helped—clear boundaries, encouragement and praise from a partner, scheduling intimacy, using vibrators to reduce dryness and re-awaken sensation, and giving each other permission to learn by trial and error. If you’ve ever wondered how to move from surviving to fully living—including in the bedroom—this one’s for you.We cover:Appearance vs. reality: looking “okay” while feeling disconnectedReconstruction + sensation loss, and naming what doesn’t workGrieving fertility and redefining womanhoodPartner role: encouragement, praise, patience, teamworkPractical tools: communication, timing, scheduling, lube, vibratorsKeeping humor alive when things get awkwardContent note: frank discussion of sex, bodies, vibrators, and intimacy after cancer.✨ Connect with Heather:Website: heatherjose.comInstagram: @heatherjoseFacebook: Heather Jose – I’m Still HereYouTube: I’m Still Here PodcastPodcast: I’m Still Here: Lessons from Life with Metastatic Breast Cancer

Never Stop Starting OverAfter a great appointment and scan results, Heather and Larry sit down to talk about what it really means to “start over”—again and again. From rebuilding strength after treatment to figuring out how to fit workouts into real life, this conversation is about giving yourself grace, finding motivation, and remembering that progress doesn’t have to be perfect.Heather shares insights from her oncologist about why building muscle and strength matter more than the number on the scale, and Larry brings his coach’s perspective on how to reset goals, stay consistent, and keep moving—no matter what stage of life (or health) you’re in.💪 Whether you’re in treatment, recovering, or just trying to get back on track, this episode will remind you that it’s never too late to begin again.📲 Connect with Heather🌐 Website: www.heatherjose.com🎙️ Podcast: I’m Still Here📺 YouTube: @ImStillHereCancer📸 Instagram: @heatherbjose💼 LinkedIn: Heather Jose
