For Metastatic Breast Cancer pts, treatment NEVER ends. #MBC pts will be in treatment for life. SOC treatment options are limited & once the available treatments are exhausted, the disease is fatal. We need more metastatic research for a cure. Yearly 685K MBC pts die globally!

Secondaries On The 2nd. We want you to know about the signs and symptoms of #MetastaticBreastCancer so we are sharing our infographics that highlight what you should be aware of if you have had a primary breast cancer diagnosis. These infographics are signposted by NHS England and used worldwide. They are translated into 11 languages. We know that it can be hard to even think about a recurrence and MBC, but knowledge is power, and if you have any of these symptoms please speak to your medical team. Advocating for yourself is the most important thing you can do for yourself. As we are focusing on awareness one of METUPUK's key aims, we'd be interested to start seeing your stories on how your #secondarybreastcancer was diagnosed and what signs you think people ought to be looking for. Use the hashtag #2ndsonthe2nd and we'll share your posts.
