What we do
3 Min. Read
We are nationally recognized for our high-quality programs and support services. We call on many volunteers, including the nation’s foremost healthcare professionals, to provide their wisdom and experiences to help you with medical, emotional, and practical concerns. Because of these volunteers and the support of our donors, we provide access to our programs and services to those in need.
We regularly evaluate and refine our current programs and develop new ones based on interest and feedback. We are intentional in our efforts to ensure our programming represents the many ways people experience breast cancer.
Living Beyond Breast Cancer is here for one reason – to connect you, your loved ones and your caregivers with trusted breast cancer information and a community of support. Here is where you learn to live with your breast cancer diagnosis. Our welcoming community stands next to you.

Annual conference on metastatic breast cancer
We hosted our first conference on metastatic breast cancer in 2006. The conference continues to grow and provide informative sessions led by medical and wellness professionals, and panels highlighting the lived experiences of people in the metastatic community.
Raise awareness
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness of this complex disease. Each year, individuals, businesses, and communities come together to show their support for the many people affected by breast cancer.
For people affected by breast cancer, awareness is not just about October. And there’s not just one way to have breast cancer. Learn how you can help raise awareness and support our work during this important campaign.
Living Beyond Breast Cancer is proud to join forces with the LUNGevity Foundation to expand the No One Missed biomarker testing campaign to the metastatic breast cancer community.
