Breast cancer can return after many years, and for survivors the fear of cancer recurring or progressing is very real. Metastatic breast cancer is incurable, but many people with this diagnosis are able to survive for many years with a good quality of life. There are around 9,000 Australians, mostly women, who are living with metastatic breast cancer.
BCNA is working hard to support women and men with metastatic breast cancer. We have a number of up-to-date, evidence-based resources available to assist people at the time of diagnosis and over the subsequent course of the illness. We provide information on the disease, treatments and how to live well with metastatic breast cancer.
Our major resource is the Hope and Hurdles kit, which you can order online here or by calling our helpline on 1800 500 258.

If you need other resources or to talk to someone, BCNA’s helpline operates business hours Monday-Friday, and until 9PM on Tuesday and Thursday. We also offer free, professional one-on-one counselling support to women and men with metastatic breast cancer, and their families. For more information and to book an appointment, please call 1800 500 258.
