@itsnot_pink Thank you Dr Dennis Slamon and the NBCC advocates who helped make it happen.

[Michele Rakoff @BCCRFActivist]

@NBCCStopBC Congrats. Glad you are sharing info about the amazing, provocative advocate-led project focusing on prevention, not lesser treatments.

[Michele Rakoff @BCCRFActivist]

@NBCCStopBC @POTUS Congratulations and well deserved

1/ The Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act was introduced in the U.S. Senate. This legislation – now introduced in both chambers of Congress – would waive Medicare and SSDI waiting periods for eligible individuals with metastatic breast cancer. https://t.co/GmltXBQOrO

With time running out this Congress, now we need to flood Speaker Pelosi’s and Leader Hoyer’s phone lines and urge them to bring our Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act to a vote! https://t.co/IeHS1LSE2R

Happy Thanksgiving from NBCC.

[National Breast Cancer Coalition @NBCCStopBC]

All aspects of breast cancer research, advocacy, and policy should involve survivors. If you think so too, this October watch this video to learn more about NBCC and how we empower advocates to take action. Get involved today.

[National Breast Cancer Coalition @NBCCStopBC]

3/ @NBCCStopBC spearheaded this critical legislation because we know that metastatic breast cancer patients don’t have time to wait for access to healthcare.

[National Breast Cancer Coalition @NBCCStopBC]

2/ Today, we thank the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act leaders in Congress: @USRepKCastor, @RepJohnKatko, @ChrisMurphyCT, and @SenJoniErnst. We must pass this legislation in this Congress. Click here to urge your member of Congress to support. https://t.co/pB6LvQM0lO

[National Breast Cancer Coalition @NBCCStopBC]

1/ It’s Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. @NBCCStopBC knows people with metastatic cancer need action, not just awareness. That’s why we initiated the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act (#HR3183/#S1312) to eliminate waiting periods & get patients the care they need

[Cancer History Project @CancerHistProj]

An activist of the 1960s, @FranMVisco, president of the @NBCCStopBC, changed the landscape of funding for #BreastCancer research during her 1992 testimony in front of Congress.

We have and continue to make a difference for women and men with breast cancer.

[Annie Appleseed @AnnieAppleseed]

We can make a difference. This Act will benefit all with metastatic breast cancer in need of aid. (Medicare, no waiting period).
