Insomnia has a huge impact on physical & mental health & even more so if you are living with secondary breast cancer. On #WorldSleepDay we're asking patients to complete our research project survey with @UniStrathclyde in tailored insomnia interventions: https://t.co/8RIg60ZakU

Secondary breast cancer (SBC) can be referred to in a number of ways, which can be confusing. They all mean the same.

SBC is a cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. Find out more & how we support those living with it: https://t.co/DNx5n1yQ07

On #WorldCancerDay we're sharing stories on Instagram to highlight some of the signs & symptoms patients felt before their secondary breast cancer diagnosis. @GenesisCare research shows 1 in 3 people do not know what secondary breast cancer is & we're on a mission to change that.

We're sad to hear about the passing of Linda. She was inspiring in the way she lived with secondary breast cancer & helped to raise awareness.

Thinking of her friends & family at this time.

[The Nolans @The_Nolans]

It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of beloved Linda Nolan. She faced incurable cancer with courage, grace & determination, inspiring millions.

Surrounded by family, she passed peacefully. A pop icon and beacon of hope, Linda will never be forgotten ❤️

We welcome a new study funded by @CancerFocusNI revealing numbers of metastatic breast cancer patients in Northern Ireland. Not having UK-wide data makes it very difficult to know the true level of support & care needed nationally. Read our response: https://t.co/aQoSifBl4E

It's a new year & the first of January - time to #feelitonthefirst!

Make a new years resolution to check your breasts &d breast area every month - it's really important that you know what your 'normal' is & what isn't. Talk to your GP if you notice any of these symptoms ⏬

We're pleased to see that @NICEComms is recommending Elacestrant for ER-positive HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients. In a sector where there has been disappointing news around access to treatments recently, this is good news.
