Not many people know that people living with metastatic breast cancer in Australia are not consistently counted on our cancer registries. If you are not counted you are not seen, which means you are 'invisible' when health service providers and policymakers plan cancer services and support. More than 100 people living with metastatic breast cancer – which is treatable, not curable – took this call to be counted to Canberra. Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) – Australia's leading voice for people affected by breast cancer – and Parliamentary Friends of Women's Health held a panel discussion – Making Metastatic Breast Cancer Count, at 8am today in the Main Committee Room, Parliament House, Canberra, and streamed live.
