Early recognition of metastatic symptoms matters. Recognising symptoms sooner can help reduce diagnostic delays, improve symptom management, and protect quality of life.

Stepping forward after the death of dear friends takes immense courage. Sue’s words remind us that advocacy doesn’t end with one voice - it carries on through those who believe deeply in the work and the people behind it.

NICE will raise its cost-effectiveness threshold in 2026, potentially allowing more life-extending metastatic breast cancer treatments - like Enhertu for HER2-low - to qualify for NHS approval. METUPUK welcomes the move and will keep pushing for faster, fairer access. #MBC #METUPUK #NICE

🔔 31 bells. 31 lives.
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.

Metastatic Breast Cancer is ignored in headlines, funding, and data. We speak up, but too often we’re unheard - ignored in policy, in pink, in “awareness.” We are not an afterthought. Don’t look away. Share this. Demand better.
#FabricOfOurLives #BCAM25 #METUPUK #DyingForACure
Metastatic Breast Cancer can be a crowded kind of loneliness. Life moves on while yours stands still between treatments. No one should face this alone - we need connection, community, and care. #FabricOfOurLives #MBC #BCAM25 #Stage4NeedsMore #METUPUK #BusyLivingWithMets
MBC hides in plain sight. It’s the only breast cancer that kills. We live with endless treatment, silent side effects, and fading visibility. Awareness saves lives - bring the unseen into the spotlight. #FabricOfOurLives #BCAM25 #METUPUK #Stage4NeedsMore #DyingForACure
The Fabric of Our Lives.
Living with MBC, our voices fade beneath pink positivity. We’re not statistics - we’re people living and dying with a terminal disease. It’s time to listen, to amplify, to be heard. 🗣️ #FabricOfOurLives #METUPUK #BCAM25 #DyingForACure
The Darker Side of Pink - Newcastle City Library, until 14th November

Outside Parliament, we stood together - patients, advocates, and allies - to demand change for everyone living with Metastatic Breast Cancer.
We stood for the 31 women who die every day from MBC.
And we stood for those still waiting - for progress, for visibility, for hope. #METUPUK #BCAM25
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.

In 2021, Philippa Hetherington led #TrodelvyNow, fighting to bring a game-changing mTNBC drug to the UK. Despite her own MBC, she worked tirelessly - driving approval and giving others #MoreTime. Her brilliance, resilience & impact live on. #METUPUK #BreastCancerAwareness
