New cancer treatments can offer meaningful advances—but increasingly high drug prices raise difficult questions about affordability and access. Join us for a November 16 webinar for a discussion of why cancer drugs launch at the prices they do in the US: stopbreastcancer.org/events/…
"I was a beneficiary of the Department of Defense [DOD BCRP] program and Herceptin, and every single second that I have on this planet, I know that I am here because of other advocates."
Federally funded research programs like the DOD BCRP save lives. nbcc.info/4hprYC1
"The medications I’m on today didn’t exist when I first got diagnosed."
To advocates like Tonsa, saving science means saving lives and improving quality of life. That's why we must protect science. nbcc.info/4yimShj
The candidates we elect to Congress could affect the funding of the next breakthrough in breast cancer science. Programs like the DOD BCRP receive funding through Congressional appropriations and could hold the key to ending this disease. nbcc.info/4hprYC1

Access to quality health care saves lives—and research demonstrates how crucial that access is for women with breast cancer. That's why NBCC supports policies that support access to affordable, quality evidence-based health care. nbcc.info/4bKXZDx

Health care providers are sharing why the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act matters to the people they serve. nbcc.info/4cYXxkM
With recent cuts to Affordable Care Act and Medicaid programs, those who most need care often face significant political barriers to receiving it. See how your community is affected: nbcc.info/3TqBqgy
How can the financial burden of cancer treatment influence treatment decisions, quality of life, and outcomes? Who is most at risk? We'll cover that and more at our October 29 webinar with Dr. @fumikochino. Register today! stopbreastcancer.org/events/…
NBCC advocates pushed to ensure @RepJasonSmith and @RepDavidKustoff were asked about the status of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act. We'll keep asking every chance we get: Congress, what are you waiting for? dailymemphian.com/subscriber…
Everyone has a right to health care. Those with breast cancer can’t live without it. T’Ana’s story exemplifies why it’s more urgent than ever to pass the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act. nbcc.info/4y8Gm93
