What we do

Breast cancer can feel overwhelming and lonely. Connecting with someone who understands can make all the difference. We have welcoming spaces where people can share experiences, ask questions, and find support from others who have been there.

• Online communities where people can ask questions, share experiences, and find support
• One-on-one conversations through our free Breast Cancer Helpline
• Personal stories and videos from people living with breast cancer
• Volunteer opportunities for those who want to support others and share their experiences

Breast cancer care can be complicated. From treatment options and reconstruction to fertility preservation, clinical trials, and biomarker testing, people are asked to make important decisions quickly. We believe people make better decisions when they have clear information, understand their options, and feel comfortable asking questions.

We provide reliable information to help people understand their options through:

• Webinars and conferences featuring leading breast cancer experts
• Articles, guides, and videos on diagnosis, treatment, side effects, and survivorship
• Resources for early-stage and metastatic breast cancer
• Tools and information to help people prepare for appointments and participate in decisions about their care

Through No One Missed: Breast Cancer, we help people living with metastatic breast cancer learn why biomarker testing matters, when to ask about testing, and how test results may help guide treatment conversations with their healthcare team.

All of our content is reviewed by oncology, wellness, and mental health experts. We stay current with the latest treatments, clinical guidelines, and scientific advancements to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information possible. To further ensure credibility, our Medical Advisory Board, made up of leading breast cancer experts and healthcare professionals, reviews our educational content.

Breast cancer affects every part of life — your finances, family, work, relationships, and sense of normalcy. We help people navigate the day-to-day challenges of breast cancer through:

• Financial assistance grants for people in active treatment
• The Breast Cancer Helpline for practical guidance and support
• Reading for Reassurance, which provides free books to help families talk with children about breast cancer
• Programs and resources focused on survivorship, quality of life, and living with metastatic breast cancer

Supporting family, friends, and healthcare professionals

Breast cancer affects more than the person diagnosed. Family members, friends, and healthcare professionals often play an important role in helping someone navigate treatment, make decisions, and manage daily life.

We provide resources and support for:

• Caregivers, family members, and friends looking for information, guidance, and ways to support a loved one
• Oncology nurses, navigators, and healthcare professionals seeking tools that support patient-centered care and communication

Our programs include educational resources, webinars, practical tools, and the Survivorship Series, the nation’s only nonprofit-led train-the-trainer program for oncology nurses and navigators.

By supporting the people who care for and care about those affected by breast cancer, we help strengthen the entire support system around each individual.
