Work by Tassia and Mhairi being presented and discussed in Birmingham today

Today we are launching an important report on clinical trials at the UK Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Symposium in Birmingham.

"A Little Bit Written Off" describes the experiences of people living with secondary breast cancer as they explore clinical trials as part of their treatment pathway.

The report, designed and illustrated by patient advocates Mhairi Campbell and Tassia Haines, highlights the misconceptions and lack of information surrounding clinical trials available to patients.

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and love it or loathe it, BCAM will be flooding social media, shops and our TVs. This long-standing global diary date means different things to different people. But one thing is for sure, Metastatic Breast Cancer awareness is every day this month as We Are Breast Cancer. Not a secret group in the corner to be hidden away. No one knows who is going to fall into the ~30% of primary patients who go on to become incurable with MBC so we aren't going to stay quiet until our one date on 13th October. Join us for some of the MBC stories of the nine women from the Darker Pink campaign who have died since 2021 with Disappearing Lives this month.

Reposted from Metastatic breast cancer is a true crime. One that kills 31 women every day. And it gets away with it.
