Our members say YES
Would you urge your mayor to proclaim October 13 as MBC Awareness Day?
"YES YES YES! I'd LOVE that....I've been living with metastatic breast cancer for nearly 5 years — and people DO NOT UNDERSTAND the never-ending nature, the "terminal" nature of a metastatic diagnosis — no longer curable, and facing a drastically reduced, albeit definitively undetermined and unknown, life span."
"THANK YOU for this push to educate people about the DIFFERENCE b/t breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer — and the plight of those third of BC patients!"
"I am a BRCA survivor and although I do not have metastatic disease I believe establishment of a day to recognize those who do annually is very important. Please send me the necessary info to make that request of our mayor."
