Sending virtual hugs. Not sure I can say anymore than has already been said. I know of a lady with mets and is going through treatment at the moment. She sees it as a positive that it’s treatable. BCN don’t want anyone with breast cancer to die of the disease by 2050. Fingers crossed they can achieve this.
Many people are living with secondary and mets. Jo is @abcdiagnosis on Instagram and has loads of support and retreats for those with a breast cancer diagnosis. She designed an infographic to highlight possible secondary issues that all breast cancer patients need to be aware of, which I have found invaluable. She is also part of https://metupuk.org.uk/ ‘the darker shade of pink’
BCN have a secondary section on the forum aswell
