Thousands of people have survived the disease, thousands more have died from it, and thousands of millions have been affected by it one way or another — whether through family, friends, co-workers, or strangers, the disease touches everyone in some form. But this month (and every month, hopefully!), our hearts go out to those with the scariest and most devastating form of this life-threatening disease: Metastatic breast cancer patients.
