Thanks for posting this article. I feel at long last our plight of living with metastatic disease is being talked about honestly and openly. I too enjoyed Mandamoos posts and was moved by her courage and eloquence in articulating what it is to live with this horrible disease and that there is no cure and that we will die from it, some sooner than others. I often used to think how Amanda and other young mothers living with ABC and parenting young children coped. True heroines. I find it hard enough with a 20 and 23 year old. I'm not against pink and like the author, consider that there are many different shades. I'm also grateful that breast cancer, compared to many other forms of cancer gets a fair degree of research funding. However, much more of that needs to go to metastic cancer. Sue
