Video re Mets BC .... EVERYONE needs to watch it

My sister just shared this video on Facebook - this video went viral in 2015 in the USA and around the world, currently with 54,000,000+ views on Facebook alone.

Holley Kitchen passed away in January, 2016, from Mets BC, age 43.

30% of those diagnosed with 'early, treatable, non spread' BC who have been told there is NED (No Evidence of Disease) will go on to be diagnosed with Metastatic BC - whether they have had their breasts removed or not.  

Most with BC are not made aware of this possibility in consultations with their surgeon or Oncs - but you NEED TO KNOW - so that if you DO GET unexplained ACHES & PAINS in the coming years - GET CHECKED OUT!  It COULD be an indication of a problem.

And her follow up video a few weeks later - a 40% increase in awareness of Mets BC due to her earlier video.

There needs to be more research into Mets BC - to be able to identify it earlier & treat it better.

  • Hi @arpie,
    Thank you I will forward this to my McGrath Nurse and also to the moderators of the NSW Cancer Council Telephone support Group for women with metastatic breast cancer, and to my oncologist in fact to anyone that will listen to it!!!
