As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, our founder Jo Taylor rings the bell 31 times - one for every woman who dies each day from Metastatic Breast Cancer in the UK.

Today, we took our voices to Parliament.

METUPUK brought The Fabric of Our Lives to Westminster on Metastatic Breast Cancer Day - to demand real change for everyone living with MBC.

The Fabric of Our Lives

MBC lives in the shadows of pink-no clear data, little funding, limited support. We are forgotten. It’s time to show the darker side of pink and demand change. Share. Speak up. Support those with MBC.

Today is #SecondsOnThe2nd - our monthly reminder to spotlight the red flag signs and symptoms of Metastatic Breast Cancer. For some people, they’re the first signs that their cancer has spread. For others, they’re missed or dismissed for too long.

Today, we're sharing a powerful poem from Laura Ashurst, a voice from our community, about what it really means when breast cancer spreads - and why awareness isn't optional, it's essential.

Metastatic, Secondary, Advanced, Stage 4 - there’s a lot of terminology around incurable breast cancer. At METUPUK, we often use the term Metastatic because it’s the most recognised globally. Learn more below.

Today, our volunteer Helen shares her experience of Lobular breast cancer spreading around her eye - and why recognising the differences between Ductal and Lobular matters so much. Please help us share this message.

Today is #SecondsOnThe2nd - a campaign created by our friend and founding Trustee, Connie Johncock.

These symptoms aren’t widely talked about - but they need to be. For some people, they’re the first signs of secondary breast cancer.
