Secondary breast cancer is treatable, although currently incurable. The average life expectancy for people with mets is 2-3+ years. Bex spent two years #BusyLivingWithMets but sadly, on Thursday 18th February 2021, she became one of the 31 people who die everyday from secondary breast cancer in the UK. #IAmThe31. Bex felt strongly that more focus was urgently needed in secondary breast cancer research, as it has just not been given enough priority.
