About Metastatic Breast Cancer

Breast cancer forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. Metastatic breast cancer (also called stage IV or advanced breast cancer) is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other organs in the body (most often bones, brain, liver or lungs). Although metastatic breast cancer has spread to another part of the body, it is still considered and still receives the same treatment as breast cancer. Metastatic breast cancer cannot be cured, but today more women and men are living longer, meaningful and productive lives. Treatment focuses on length and quality of life.

Metastatic breast cancer often appears months or years after completing treatment for early or locally advanced (stages I, II or III) breast cancer. Only about 5% of breast cancers are metastatic when initially diagnosed.

" This is the second year that your foundation has been so gracious and generous to grant me financial assistance for the co-pays associated with my multiple myeloma…Thank you so much for your gift, support and assistance. God Bless. "

James | Multiple Myeloma

" The appropriate place to start is to express my appreciation for your participation in my cancer fighting efforts. Upon hearing the expected cost of the [prescribed cancer fighting therapy] my immediate thought was that cancer would be a contributing cause of my death since that level of expenditure would never fit into a retired teacher’s budget. Therefore please accept my sincere thanks… "

Ray | Multiple Myeloma

Stan | Hepatitis C

" The impact has been lifegiving. Without your financial assistance, I would not have had the resources to afford the treatments that I need. We have talked with a number of people on your staff, and everyone has been helpful and professional, and most importantly, has seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. I am grateful beyond words. "

Curtis | Myelodysplastic Syndrome
