Marching for affordable Medicare/Healthcare for my American sisters dying from Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC – the only breast cancer that kills). In America 40,000 people/year die from MBC. The Canadian death rate is population proportionate. Without affordable medical coverage my friends in the USA will die. 30% diagnosed with lower stage breast cancer will progress…
