Minnesota MBC Angels
family and friends that we have lost to mbc
Even though breast cancer is often referred to as a chronic disease, the 97-99% death rate for metastatic breast cancer is proof that the disease is far from chronic. The average survival is 18-24 months. Despite these dire facts surrounding the disease, for each $1 million spent on breast cancer research, only about $20,000 (2%*) goes toward metastatic research. A number of leading metastasis researchers believe the stage IV patient situation could be significantly improved if the research were more fairly funded, but at 2% this will not happen.
