October is Breast Cancer Awareness month - and our timelines & feeds have been drenched in "pink". But did you know there are other "awareness" colors associated with this disease? While the pink ribbon is well-known for representing the fight against breast cancer, many stage 4 (metastatic) breast cancer patients feel that pink does not encapsulate their experience.

A tricolor ribbon - Green, Teal & Pink - for metastatic breast cancer, aims to raise awareness for the need to direct funding toward the development of life-extending treatments for this terminal illness. (https://www.glamour.com/story/...)(https://secure.info-komen.org/...)

Green

Green represents the triumph of spring over winter, life over death, and symbolizes renewal, hope, and immortality. Despite the hope this color symbolizes, the fact remains that Metastatic breast cancer is severely underfunded, with only 2-5% of monies going towards research.

Teal

Teal represents healing and spirituality - q METAvivors (those surviving with MBC) and their loved ones often lean into during their diagnosis and throughout their lives. Supporting peer-to-peer groups is a great way to bolster support those affected.

Pink

The thin pink stripe - perhaps the most well known color associated with breast cancer - signifies that the metastatic cancer originated in the breast. 30% of all breast cancer patients will metastasize, making awareness, research, and donation towards MBC crucial in the fight.
