Support Services and Networks

Support during a diagnosis looks different for all women but having a support system that suits your needs is what matters! Below, we have compiled a list of organizations that we have found that vary on the type of support that they offer but all have the common goal of serving women and caregivers.

Breast Cancer Survivor Spreading Hope Through A Podcast

Breast cancer survivor, Tina Conrad is the voice behind the popular podcast “DJBreastcancer” which serves as a platform for women with breast cancer. Her goal is “to help one person along the way on their breast cancer journey,” especially for women who may not have a support system around them. Women share their unique stories from initial diagnosis, treatment and life afterwards. Every story is different! Which is a sobering reminder that everyone and their journey is different…

I encourage you to “tune in” (click button below) and listen to Tina and these incredible women. Whether you’re in the car, doing dishes or just relaxing you can listen to empowering stories and feel a greater sense of community with Tina and these women.

Tina's inspirational journey through breast cancer, with episodes on diagnosis, chemo, radiation and life after cancer. A girlfriend's guide to breast cancer for those facing breast cancer or adversity. As a 5 year cancer survivor, Tina describes the challenges and beauty from a life altering diagnosis. DJBreastcancer is dedicated with love to the memory of Sandy Clausen, a beautiful pink sister, who never stopped fighting!
