Patients with secondary breast cancer (SBC) may live for many years, but they require continual treatment and monitoring to control the disease. There is less specialist support available for this patient group, therefore funding was secured to improve the health and well-being of patients with SBC and their carers through an information and support day in the company of other patients. This article describes how three information and support events were hosted at the Christie Hospital in Manchester between July 2015 and January 2016, and reports the evaluation results.
