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.
You can get involved with Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day by:
