Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness

I noticed the U.K have a secondary breast cancer awareness day. How wonderful to see those with secondaries getting some focus in the community. Whilst I know the importance of focusing on the positives and raising money for research and support, for those living with and battling secondary breast cancer see those lovely pink buns, pink everything as a constant reminder that we have breast cancer. Unfortunately not everyone survives.
