Frequently asked questions

Who is Natasha?

Natasha was diagnosed with primary breast cancer at the age of 38, which then spread to other parts of her body, known as secondary breast cancer, by the time she was 43. She allowed us to share her story to help spread awareness of secondary breast cancer, so that we can continue working on helping those with secondary breast cancer and keep our support services running. For Natasha, it is support like this that helps her focus on the here and now, reminding her that life continues, no matter what.

What research are we doing into secondary breast cancer at the moment?

Our scientists are researching new treatments and studying why breast cancer becomes resistant to existing treatments. For example, Professor Leonie Young at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland is looking at whether a drug called talazoparib could help treat secondary breast cancer in the brain. While Professor Janet Brown at the University of Sheffield wants to understand if combining radium-233 with an immunotherapy drug could work to treat the disease. We’re currently funding lots of research into different areas of breast cancer. Other research projects that aren’t specifically focused on secondary breast cancer, could also lead to new treatments that women with secondary breast cancer could benefit from.
