Breast Cancer Care Nurse Researcher Liz Reed has carried out a study examining the needs of women living with secondary Breast Cancer and is calling for improved collection of data on its incidence.
Jenni talks to Liz Reed,Ìýalong with counsellor Melanie Lockett and patient Ann Fingret to discuss the psychological impact of living with the disease.
