Great progress comes through great collaboration. That’s why Pfizer awards grants, supports partnerships, and helps create resources around the globe to raise awareness and further extend the fight against breast cancer.

THROUGH MY EYES

The awareness of metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is significantly low across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Through My Eyes is an initiative to address the low awareness and understanding of mBC in the APAC community. At the heart of the initiative are the stories of women living with mBC and their support network in APAC, as well as healthcare professionals who have dedicated their professional life to improving care of mBC patients. This forum provides a platform to share their journey and offer hope and support for other women living with mBC.

PALABRA DE MUJER

Pfizer joined efforts with 4 NGOs to bring Palabra de Mujer (Woman’s Voice) to life. Palabra de Mujer is a dictionary built with the valuable contribution of 11 patients with metastatic breast cancer. These women’s experiences inevitably led them to look at life differently, and they have channeled their transformative wisdom into inspirational lessons that invite us all to reflect and appreciate life differently.

EMOTIONSPACE

Pfizer developed the EmotionSpace app, which enables women with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) to express emotions without judgment and ask for support if and when needed.

The EmotionSpace app is available in select countries, as well as in the EU and beyond. EmotionSpace allows users to:

  • Record and document their emotions
  • Communicate their feelings to friends or family and ask for support when needed
  • Generate a ʺfeelings curveʺ over time to share with their HCPs
  • Search for nearby advocacy meetings and patient services
