2nds Together

2nds Together connects patients living with a secondary breast cancer diagnosis online via our Facebook group.

The private patient-only group is an online community offering peer-to-peer support and info sharing about experiences, treatments, drugs and more. Whether you want to learn, vent, cry or share 2nds Together connects people who understand what its like to live with secondary breast cancer.

2nds Together - Friends & Family

We understand the importance of support for the friends and family of someone with secondary breast cancer so we now have a second private Facebook support group to meet this need.

This will be exclusively for parents, children, partners, siblings, cousins, friends - anyone who is a support system for someone living with secondary breast cancer. It's a safe space to share experiences with others who understand what you are going through and hopefully will help to open up new friendships with others in a similar situation.

Tea & A Chat Online

Launched during the Coronavirus pandemic, Tea & A Chat brings together patients to chat live via a video call. No agenda particular agenda – just a catch up, support and lots of tea.

Video chats help patients who are self-isolating maintain regular social contact with their peers. Sadly, for secondary breast cancer patients self-isolation is not a crisis-only phenomenon
