Buddy Program
If you’d like to speak with someone who had a similar diagnosis, surgery, treatment, or life experience, BACC can match you with a Buddy.
Our Buddies provide:
- One-on-one support (this could be in-person, over the phone, or even via email)
- Their personal perspective on a wide range of subjects, such as coping with side effects, discussing reconstruction, or what it was like to have young children during treatment
Please contact the Helpline at info@bayareacancer.org or (650) 326-6686 to be matched with a Buddy.
Interested in becoming a Buddy?
If you’ve completed treatment or are living with breast or ovarian cancer and want to support others through a shared experience, we’d love to hear from you. Our Buddy volunteers make a meaningful difference by offering empathy, hope, and practical insight.
