Our Mission:
ABCD nurtures hope and restores confidence in anyone impacted by breast cancer.
Our Vision:
No one should go through breast cancer alone.
ABCD offers free emotional support services to empower anyone impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis —people currently in treatment (“patients”), people who have completed treatment (“survivors”), people living with stage IV/metastatic disease (“thrivers”), people who are at high risk of developing breast cancer because of their genetics (“previvors”), as well as family and friends. We support male breast cancer patients too.
With 225+ volunteer Mentors around the country, we can make truly personalized connections. Our virtual platform makes it so easy to request support from anywhere in the United States and beyond.
Our free services are available anytime from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment, and into survivorship. We support all stages of breast cancer, including metastatic/Stage IV.
