How to Find Breast Cancer Resources and Support on lbbc.org

LBBC (Living Beyond Breast Cancer) is a national nonprofit that connects people with trusted information and a community of support. On lbbc.org you can find resources two ways: browse by where you are in the breast cancer timeline, or search by keyword. From there you can join Flourish, LBBC's free online community, or call the breast cancer helpline to talk with someone who understands.

Start with the timeline that matches your situation

The site's main resource hub is organized around stages of the breast cancer experience. Pick the one that fits you:

• High risk / Concerned — for people with elevated risk or awaiting answers
• Recently Diagnosed — for the period right after a diagnosis
• In Treatment — for people currently going through treatment
• Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer — for metastatic disease
• Post-active Treatment — for life after active treatment
• Survivorship — for longer-term survivorship

If none of these labels fit exactly, you can also search by keyword instead of choosing a timeline stage.

Find resources for specific groups

Beyond the timeline, LBBC organizes content for particular communities and roles:

• Young with breast cancer
• Black with breast cancer
• LGBTQ+ with breast cancer
• Men with breast cancer
• Family & friends
• Healthcare providers

Use these when your identity or your relationship to breast cancer shapes what kind of information and support you need.

Join Flourish, the free online community

Flourish is Living Beyond Breast Cancer's free online community. According to LBBC, it's a place where people impacted by breast cancer can:

• Ask questions
• Share experiences
• Celebrate milestones
• Connect with people who understand — anytime, anywhere

You can join Flourish directly from the site.

Talk to someone: helpline and volunteer support

If you'd rather speak with a person, LBBC offers a breast cancer helpline staffed by people who are ready to listen. The site also lists volunteer and personal stories options under its "Find support" section, so you can read about others' experiences or connect one-to-one.

Other ways to get involved

The site also surfaces upcoming events and current content, including:

• Events such as the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Summit, LBBC Pickups for Breast Cancer, the Butterfly Ball, and the Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer
• Recent blogs and news, including topics like menopause after breast cancer and ASCO research updates
• Personal stories, such as Klara's story about genetic testing across generations and Christina's story about choosing clinical trials after a metastatic diagnosis
