October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and October 13 is METASTATIC BREAST CANCER or (MBC) DAY, meant to recognize the stage of breast cancer where it becomes deadly and currently cannot be cured. Each year we recognize this special day to counter some serious misconceptions by people who believe incorrectly that all breast cancers are easily treated and curable.
On October 13th, we have a special interview to discuss this difficult topic with a nationally renowned doctor, Kathy D. Miller, M.D, or Joy Jenrette, a patient advocate, who will share her emotional story about living with metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic breast cancer – also called stage IV breast cancer – is the most advanced stage of breast cancer. It is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other organs in the body, most often the bones, lungs, liver or brain.
