Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day: October 13th 💜
Throughout October, breast cancer awareness often centres on early detection, treatment and life after cancer. However, for people living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), the reality is different.
MBC occurs when breast cancer spreads from its original site in the breast and nearby lymph nodes to distant parts of the body, such as the bones, lungs, liver or brain. Also known as stage IV breast cancer, it is treatable but not currently curable.
For those living with MBC, the experience often involves ongoing treatment, managing an incurable disease and navigating the physical and emotional challenges that come with it.
People living with metastatic breast cancer deserve to have their experiences acknowledged, their voices heard and their support needs recognised.
At Hunter Rehab Hub, we recognise that every person’s experience is different and that everyone affected by breast cancer deserves access to care and support that recognises their individual needs, circumstances and experiences.
This October, let’s broaden the conversation beyond early detection and survivorship to ensure that people living with metastatic breast cancer are seen, heard and included.
Awareness beyond October. Support at every stage. 💗
