Living Beyond Breast Cancer

Our mission is to connect people with trusted breast cancer information and a community of support.

Living Beyond Breast Cancer is a national nonprofit organization that seeks to create a world that understands there is more than one way to have breast cancer. To fulfill our mission of providing trusted information and a community of support, we offer on-demand emotional, practical, and evidence-based content that is meaningful to those newly diagnosed, in treatment, post-treatment, and living with metastatic disease.

For over 30 years, Living Beyond Breast Cancer has imparted wisdom and connection via conferences, events, a peer-to-peer helpline, and more. Today, we remain committed to creating a culture of acceptance—where sharing the diversity of the lived experience of breast cancer fosters self-advocacy and hope.

For over 30 years our staff and dedicated volunteers have focused on developing and delivering programs and services to share information and build community for women and men impacted by breast cancer. Our work is informed by research to define the specific needs of women and men with breast cancer and their caregivers and is medically reviewed by members of our national medical advisory board. We consistently review and analyze the impact of our programs and services to ensure that they meet the needs are of the people we serve in content and delivery. We have recently focused on strengthening our marketing and communication capabilities including rebuilding on website and increasing our social media reach.
