Judy

Please support more research focused specifically on metastatic cancer. If we don't understand how to help people whose cancer has metastasized we won't be able to understand how to prevent it.

It's about time we have more research funding for deadly metastatic breast cancer!

It's about time to ICE the cure for metastatic breast cancer once and for all.

I'm sure there are thousands of women like myself, that have to do whatever it takes to support their families because there's no support system otherwise. We are in an unending fight for our lives.

I am no longer able to hold a full-time job. I’m on round the clock pain medication for side effects from my meds and from nerve damage due to radiation.

My humble opinion is the "Pink Ribbon" campaign to make women aware of breast cancer and the annual mammograms has reached its goal and their funding and donations should be turned over to MBC for research.

I think "Pinktober" is difficult for patients living with Stage IV breast cancer. We feel left out of the movement and our voices are important.

I started Twisted Pink in 2014 - I wanted to do something for the men and women who were being left behind the pink ribbon, which has become a symbol for awareness & a cure!

The best way to live with this disease is to try to do the things that you're passionate about while you can, the things that keep that fire inside you lit.

To all the ones who have died with this horrible disease: I pray you haven't died in vain, that money and research will find a cure. I pray your daughters and sons and grandchildren will not have to face this in their lifetime and that a cure will be found.

I watched my maternal grandmother fight cancer for 20 years as she raised me. I figured that at some point I, too, would end up fighting that fight, but I never realized how soon it would be or that I would be fighting metastatic cancer.

I am determined to live my life and enjoy my handsome, hilarious husband and my 3 beautifully wild children. I laugh loudly, smile often and look absolutely fabulous while doing it.
