Make your voice heard in our secondary breast cancer survey

We’ve launched what we hope will be the most comprehensive survey ever of those affected by  incurable breast cancer in the UK. If you have secondary breast cancer, this is your chance to have  your say.  

 

Share or take our survey which will help guide our campaign for better treatment and care in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

My world collapsed when I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. While we are here and breathing, it is not too late to make an impact and influence change.

The need for better care

72 percent

of hospital organisations in England, Scotland and Wales do not give people access to a dedicated secondary breast care nurse.

Two fifths

of hospital organisations across the UK could not tell us how many secondary breast cancer patients are currently under their care.

70 percent

of hospital organisations across the UK do not assess people’s emotional and physical needs when diagnosed and as their treatment changes.

Over 2,100 of you wrote to your local politician to ask if they would support the need for a Secondary Support Package. With your help, over 60 politicians now support our call for change.
