Advanced breast cancer patients ‘isolated’

Two out of three women with advanced breast cancer feel no one knows what they are going through and more than half found there is no support for their needs.

Just over 40% found that support from family and friends waned over time.

While Ireland was not included in the survey of 1,300 women with advanced breast cancer across 12 countries, the Irish Cancer Society said the findings match what women with advanced breast cancer are telling them.
