Today marks Metastatic (Secondary) Breast Cancer Awareness Day 💗

And while most breast cancers don’t come back after treatment, it’s important to know the signs and symptoms in case they do.

Speak to your GP or breast care nurse if you have any new symptoms that:

• Are new or unusual for you

• Don't have an obvious cause

• Don't go away

Find out more information about the signs and symptoms of metastatic breast cancer.

Adjusting to life after cancer is different for everyone. It can be a time of celebration for those who have survived but also raises awareness of the challenges people encounter during and after treatment and the need for practical and emotional support.
