This recent article ‘The Problem with Pink: Our feel - good war on breast cancer’, is well worth a read (particularly the last paragraph re. secondary BC!) It’s fairly long, but touches on many aspects of BC.
It addresses many aspects of breast cancer, from ‘early detection’ to ‘low funding for metastatic disease research’.
Having read many times over, on various forum threads, posts about DCIS & mammograms, BC ‘awareness’, concerns over BC spread, ‘prophylactic mastectomy’, lack of focus on & support for secondary BC , etc. - this article makes you think and provides facts about BC in 2013.
