Today marks Secondary (Metastatic) Breast Cancer Awareness Day - so please share and spread the word. While most breast cancers don’t come back after treatment, it’s important to know the signs and symptoms in case they do.

Speak to your GP or breast care nurse if you have any new symptoms that:
✅Are new or unusual for you
✅Don't have an obvious cause
✅Don't go away
