Metastatic Breast Cancer, It's Not Pink
Breast cancer is not the good cancer, it kills.
And all this pink isn't helping.
That's what I want to talk about...
As an educated metastatic breast cancer survivor and advocate, I'm committed to contributing with patients, researchers, clinicians, drugmakers, and other stakeholders to improve the lives of women and men affected by the disease.
THE REALITY
BREAST CANCER KILLS 113
AMERICANS A DAY
THE NUMBERS
40k
women& men
die of metastatic breast cancer every year in the US
1 in 8
women
will develop breast cancer over her lifetime
30%
patients
with early stage breast cancer will eventually become metastatic
THE PROBLEM
Breast cancer deaths are all due to metastatic breast cancer. When the cancer is only in the breast, it doesn’t kill. It’s the metastasis to vital organs that does. However, less than 10 percent of research funding goes towards metastatic breast cancer.
THE TRUTH
