💙 September is #BlueSeptember - raising awareness of men’s cancers like prostate & testicular. Early detection saves lives. But research shows men are less likely to seek help, often waiting until it’s too late. 👉 Seeking help = strength. #MensHealth #CancerAwareness

Secondaries On The 2nd. We want you to know about the signs and symptoms of #MetastaticBreastCancer so we are sharing our infographics that highlight what you should be aware of if you have had a primary breast cancer diagnosis. These infographics are signposted by NHS England and used worldwide. They are translated into 12 languages. We know that it can be hard to even think about a recurrence and MBC, but knowledge is power, and if you have any of these symptoms please speak to your medical team. Advocating for yourself is the most important thing you can do for yourself. As we are focusing on awareness one of abcd and key to METUPUK's we'd be interested to start seeing your stories on how your #secondarybreastcancer was diagnosed and what signs you think people ought to be looking for. Use the hashtag #2ndsOnThe2nd and we'll share your posts. Here's the link to the infographics buff.ly/dJ78Fc9 #METUPUK #DarkerPink #BusyLivingWithMets #IAmThe31 #waitingroomfeet #BreastCancer #BreastCancerCommunity #BreastCancerJourney #BreastCancerSupport #DyingForACure #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #MetastaticBreastCancerAwareness #SecondaryBreastCancer #SecondarySisters #Stage4NeedsMore #StageIVNeedsMore #AdvancedBreastCancer

We’ve been doing it backwards. Side by Side Learning is a simple idea, but a powerful one. It’s the idea that people who receive support and the people who provide it can use some of the time they already spend together, to learn together.
