Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day – Friday October 13 2017
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a time where
thousands of organisations around the world reflect on the importance of reduce
reducing the incidence of breast cancer and fighting for a cure for those who
have been touched by this disease. As we focus on the importance of
survivorship and cure, many of those people living with metastatic breast
cancer tell us that their voices can feel lost within this messaging.
In order to shine a spotlight on the importance of extending
the lives of women and men living with metastatic breast cancer, BCNA is
recognising Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day on Friday October 13 2017,
and we would like your help in promoting the day to your family and friends.
Acknowledging Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day tells
those living with the disease they are
not alone on what is often an uncertain and scary journey – especially for
those who have been recently diagnosed.
