Tamsin Sargeant: "We need to keep talking about Secondary Breast Cancer"

“We Need To Keep Talking About Secondary Breast Cancer”

“Women with secondary breast cancer were – generally speaking – once women with primary breast cancer. Ignoring this simple truth does a disservice to us all. Primary and secondary breast cancer are not separate entities, they exist on a continuum, and a better understanding of both our common and specialised psychological needs fosters greater mutual support and advocacy for improved treatments. Women with secondary breast cancer need women with primary breast cancer to support and advocate for them; women with primary breast cancer can learn from other women with secondary breast cancer. We need to keep talking about secondary breast cancer.”

Pleased to share this brilliant piece by BRiC’s former Deputy Head Tamsin Sargeant on why we need to keep talking about Secondary Breast Cancer.
