Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day 13.10.11

To mark Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day on 13 October, we’re producing a collection of practical tips for people living with secondary breast cancer. Visit breastcancercare.org.uk/secondary to order your free copy of the new book, and add your own tips to the website.

We’re also holding three events to mark the day. These are for people with a personal or professional interest in secondary breast cancer. The events are free but places are limited so please contact us to register.

In advance of the day, on Monday 10 October at 11am , come to Waterstones Piccadilly in central London to launch The little things that make a big difference – a printed selection of the tips on this website, written by people with secondary breast cancer.

Hi all,

With Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day just around the corner, we could really use your help. We want as many MPs to attend our Westminster event on 13th October as possible and it would be great if you could get in touch with yours. The link below will allow you to send a quick message to your MP to remind them about the event and hopefully they will RSVP so they can speak with people affected by secondary breast cancer and health policy specialists, about the next steps needed to improve treatment and support.

Please click this link to fill in our simple form: bcc.cx/rmFwLV

Thank you

Hi - I just wanted to say I’ve done an article for Grazia magazine on my secondary breast cancer diagnosis. It should be out around October 11th - I informed the health editor that it would be near to secondary breast cancer awareness day. They asked me to do the article after reading my blog writtenoff.net. Any help I can provide please do get in touch,
Ellie.

Dear Ellie,

Thank you for that.

Very best wishes

Janet
BCC facilitator

I would urge everybody to e mail their MP using the link above from BCC. If you don’t know who your MP is just use google to find out. The more MPs know about secondary breast cancer the better x
