About Surviving Breast Cancer
Sur.viv.or. anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. You are surviving!
Our Story
Survivingbreastcancer.org (SBC) was created in 2017 to help fill the gaps in breast cancer support, education and resources. It was founded by Laura Carfang, recently diagnosed at that time in her early 30’s, and has grown exponentially since, serving members in the global breast cancer community. Over these past few years the SBC website has been visited by community members (over 1,000,000 page views) across 120+ countries, and Laura’s podcast, Breast Cancer Conversations has been listened to in over 80 countries. The SBC website has been translated into Spanish, French, Italian and Arabic.
Leveraging technology and breaking down barriers to access and information, SBC puts the patient first, educating, encouraging and inspiring advocacy. Community members are encouraged to participate in the various free programming, events and services and are all invited to contribute to resolving the growing needs of this population.
All services, education, programming and events are free to those diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as their caregivers.
