This Wednesday, October 13th will be the first ever Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day in the UK. I know breast cancer is huge in the media and gets a lot of press which does at times overshadow other cancer types. Obviously I hope everyone gets the support, care and treatment they deserve but being a SBC sufferer myself this is something I am passionate about. I was approached by Breast Cancer Care as I have done a bit of media work for them in the past and they asked if I would speak to a journalist from the Mirror newspaper. They were keen to help promote this new awareness day and highlight the issues surrounding SBC and wanted someone to share their experiences about lack of support and understanding of SBC. I hope you will all have a look at the article as it is an eye opener and maybe not what you would be expecting especially when you think how much promotion and awareness there is of breast cancer.
