CCC on the BBC: Living with secondary breast cancer

Posted 7th October 2021

For some time, we've been working with the national BBC news team on a series of features to raise awareness of metastatic/secondary breast cancer. The BBC is broadcasting these stories from tonight. You can watch a sneak preview below.

Here are the full details.

The BBC have interviewed some amazing women with secondary breast cancer and our Metastatic Breast Cancer team and other staff caring for them. In addition to the news coverage today, there will also be a longer (12 to 15 minutes long) feature on the BBC News channel and BBC iPlayer this weekend.

We want to say a huge thank-you to the patients who so kindly agreed to share their stories, and their families and loved ones.
