I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in February 2021. For those that don’t know: Secondary breast cancer is breast cancer which has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Although secondary breast cancer can be treated, there is no cure. Unlike those living with primary breast cancer, there is no end of treatment, there is no remission. It’s estimated that 35,000 people are currently living with secondary breast cancer in the UK yet only 7% of the National funding for cancer goes towards this incurable disease. Make 2nds Count aim to address this imbalance. They also provide an invaluable community where we can share stories, ask questions and share the highs and lows of our ongoing treatments. The median life expectancy is just 2-5 years. Although there are many who are far exceeding this. My plan is to be one of those as there are far too many things to see and do.
