Thanks. All the pink when you have mets can be difficult. For my fellow mets people, let's all take great care of ourselves during this month in particular.
There are things you can do like silence socials if you need to do that.
While the pink story is good and raises lots of money for charities that help all bc patients, mbc still accounts for about 1/3 of all bc. Breast cancer month should reflect that story/mets reality and perhaps support more mbc during October.

Hi Cath62
Agree the pink wash is overwhelming!
Mets is hard enough- awareness is needed!
I have a young sister Mets, not BC, but Cancer regardless! She is extremely sensitive to the discussions around Mets
Take care
