Hope, customized to you
Breast cancer is so much more than chemo, radiation, and surgeries. Getting through it requires reliable, consistent support from someone who knows personally what it’s like to hear, “you have breast cancer.”
At ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis, you’ll be matched with a professionally-trained Mentor/breast cancer survivor who not only shares a similar diagnosis and treatment, but whose age, life stage and interests closely align with yours.
The Power of One-to-One
Decades of research indicate that patients who take advantage of non-clinical support like ABCD’s customized, one-to-one support are more likely to finish treatment, have improved survival rates, show a reduced risk of recurrence, and report experiencing less distress, healthier social relationships, and an improved quality of life.
