Why I Kept My Cancer A Secret, And Why I Won't Anymore Sally Deng/NPR I've been keeping a secret. I thought that you were more likely to get metastatic breast cancer if you'd been diagnosed with a more-advanced stage of breast cancer to begin with. Due to the types of cancers that they get, African American women have the highest breast cancer mortality rate of any U.S. racial or ethnic group, at 26.8 per 100,000 annually. As I began to research metastatic breast cancer, I came across the stunning statistic that only 7% of funding for breast cancer research is devoted to metastatic disease. A 2020 National Cancer Institute study estimates that 168,000 women in the U.S. are living with metastatic breast cancer.
