A breast cancer recurrence can happen months, years, or even decades after an initial diagnosis. As scary as this fact is, we cannot ignore it. Metastatic breast cancer, whether a de novo diagnosis or a recurrence, takes too many lives each year. #StageIVneedsMORE Source: Metavivor

Although mammography is the best early detection tool, it is estimated that 20% of breast cancer diagnoses are missed. False negative results are especially prevalent in women with dense breast tissue.

The truth is that sometimes, by the time you can feel a lump, the cancer might have already moved beyond the breast into the lymph nodes. Performing breast self-exams is certainly a good idea, but it isn’t a substitute for regular screening with mammography. #BCSM #MBC Source: breastcancer.org/

The burden financial hardship can have on a cancer patient is more serious than many may realize, ultimately effecting their survival. We hope that one day we can live in a world where no one has to face this kind of fear while living with cancer. #BCSM #MBC

Fact: Only about 5–10% of breast cancers are believed to be hereditary. This means that the vast majority of people who get breast cancer have no family history, meaning there are many other factors at work to cause this disease. #BCSM #MBC #Stage4NeedsMore
