More than 40,000 men and women from the United States die each year from metastatic breast cancer, yet only five to ten percent of cancer-related funding goes toward research for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
METAvivor is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization promoting awareness, offering support, and funding vital research to improve the longevity and quality of life of MBC patients.
Meet our MBC community: Take a look into the lives of people who are living with metastatic breast cancer and help us remember and honor those who have passed away.
