Metastatic breast cancer has no cure. Every year 40,000 people die because of it, but it is rarely talked about. A Cedar Park mom decided to change that. Her video is now being shared around the world”No one wants to hear they have cancer, much less that it’s terminal. A Cedar Park mom has turned that diagnosis into her mission. And her message is spreading around the world.

What started as a simple gesture to make people aware is turning into a worldwide lesson.

Holley Kitchen was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at age 39. After a double mastectomy, chemo and radiation she thought she was cancer free. A year later she found out it had spread to her spine and bones.

“I think it resonates with people because it’s honest. It’s what people don’t want to say what people don’t want to hear,” she said.

Every year 40,000 people die every year with metastatic breast cancer, and there is no cure.

“It’s my life and I’m going to make the best of it,” she said.

Like many people Holley was totally unaware. Her video had been viewed millions of times in 24 hours.”
