The goal of #4forStageIV is to spread awareness and increase understanding of what metastatic breast cancer is and how it is different than other stages of breast cancer.

general_content

Metastatic breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to a distant organ of the body, most often the bones, liver, lungs, or brain. Metastatic breast cancer can be treated, but it cannot be cured. There are more than 168,000 Americans living with metastatic breast cancer, and this year the disease will take the lives of nearly 700,000 people around the world.

People with metastatic breast cancer are your loved ones, your friends, your co-workers, and your neighbors. They are beside you, and you may not even know it -- they may look healthy, but they are in ongoing treatment that deeply affects the quality and length of their lives. They deserve to be seen, heard, and understood.

We asked our Hear My Voice metastatic advocates to share four words they wish people knew about living with metastatic disease in our #4forStageIV campaign. See what they shared on social media; share your own words of hope, awareness, and support; and spread the word about this campaign.
