Last year @SusanGKomen only spent 19% on research grants. That’s a tragically low percentage for the worlds largest breast cancer charity
We're asking the following:
🚨50% go to research
🚨100% transparency on their homepage

Want to know what we've been working on lately, well, we've been planning a whole month of content for you exploring what it's like to live with metastatic cancer.......
Stay tuned for more info, because we have some brilliant content heading your way! #MetastaticMay #MetUpUK
Patient #Clinicaltrial experience can differ from oncology clinic or cancer research hospital. However, we continue to hear horror stories & patients face too many hurdles pointed out in @Stickit2Stage4 recent blog. We need to change this narrative. #Bcsm #cancerresearch
This has been a tough year for non-profits. @Stickit2Stage4 has done a tremendous job keeping @CultPerfectMoms vision alive for METUP. Susan is a visionary and will always be part of the METUP story. #bcsm #metastasticBC
This fact highlights the serious problem that needs to change. Racial disparities in breast cancer is real. #BlackHistoryMonth #breastcancer #bcsm #metastastaticBC
Men die everyday of breast cancer. The disease doesn’t discriminate. Some “pink” non-profits continue to marginalize male breast cancer by sexualizing the disease causing men to feel shame. It’s not only misleading it causes men to ignore lumps. #malebreastcancer #bcsm #Cancer

Why do we expect researchers to stop cancer deaths when there is zero accountability? Death is not an acceptable prize. #stage4needsmore #bcsm #metastasticBC #lcsm #research #cancer
Some major cancer center and oncology clinics are receiving vaccines for patients. Be sure to speak with oncologist about timing of vaccines if in current treatment to ensure effectiveness. #bcsm #breastcancer #malebreastcancer #metastasticBC
MD Anderson will soon receive a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines for our cancer patients. Here’s what our patients should know about getting vaccinated at MD Anderson. fal.cn/3cQac @WTereffeMD @AnitaYingMD #COVIDvaccine #EndCancer
Important news for people living with cancer. Cancer patients need to be prioritized for vaccinations. Please share to cancer communities. @CDC needs to act on this data immediately with state health departments and appropriate state officials. #COVID19 #CoronavirusVaccine #bcsm
People with #cancer should be prioritized now for access to #COVID19 #vaccine. They have 15% 30d mortality (30% if hospitalized): bit.ly/38yBFvX. This is on par with risk of #coronavirus death for people in their 80s (📸@OurWorldInData).

“This is not to say MBC is not treatable. It is. But referring to MBC as chronic feels like marginalizing a diagnosis that still brings with it a pretty dismal prognosis.” @DrAttai #bcsm #Dying4aCure #breastcancer
While raising two small children after loosing the love of his life @thejhcaldwell continues to speak out and support work started his wife Beth Caldwell. Beth advocated against disparities/lack of progress for African Americans. Please watch video by @tigerlilycares #caregivers
My friend & joint founder of @METUPorg our amazing Beth @CultPerfectMoms 💔
I’ve only just seen this. Please watch it’s important x

Ending 2020 remembering all our friends and family lost to metastatic breast cancer. We will not die quietly. #bcsm #Stage4NeedsMore #2020TaughtMe
Consider how quickly treatments & vaccines came to market to start impacting Covid deaths. One year! Cancer researchers are not even talking about number of breast cancer deaths to impact. 40 years of prevention research while nearly 43,000 will die. #bcsm #metastasticBC
Holiday season means something completely different for those living and families of terminally ill metastatic breast patients. We send out hugs for those struggling and families missing loved ones. #bcsm #metastasticBC #breastcancer
Standing up for change isn’t always welcome. So this means a lot to the metastatic community @SABCSSanAntonio. #stage4needsmore #dying4aCure #metastasticBC #bcsm #malebreastcancer
@itsnot_pink got us thinking about what greatness surrounds us. @BSBreastCancer @BCRFcure @BreastAdvocate @METUPorg @malefitness @ErikaHamilton9 @karunajaggar @ChefGeib @MBCC_MHBT @swaggsheila1 @c_sotiriou @JaniceTNBCmets @VJOncology @Liz_ORiordan @christeeny513 @DrLauraEsserman
Heading into the holidays many face more cancer treatment failures. Don’t let this be our last holiday. We lack effective treatments. Stop the deaths with more research. #Stage4needsmore #dying4aCure #metastaticBC #breastcancer #bcsm
Most Common Cancer Diagnosis Globally: Breast Surpasses Lung in number of cases. #bcsm #breastcancer #malebreastcancer medscape.com/viewarticle/942…
Cancer research has become a career instead of a mission. No accountability just a giant money pit. Another year of millions of dollar in breast cancer research with no decrease in #MetastaticBC deaths. We continue dying in masses. #bcsm #Dying4aCure

It's not about treating a disease, but rather taking care of a person. Why words matter and how a right way of communicating makes a difference. #SABCS20
We stand in virtual protest at #SABCS20 for men & women dying of metastatic breast cancer. The dying need to be a priority for better treatments & research. Over 42,000 continue to die every year. It is our turn for research! It is your turn to make us a priority. #StopTheDeaths
