Our Mission
Been There connects cancer patients with survivors who truly understand their journey. We believe in the power of shared experience — creating personalized connections based on what matters most to you, whether that's your location, workplace, treatment center, or cancer type.
The Challenge
Cancer brings questions that only others who've experienced it can answer. Yet finding the right support at the right time remains difficult, with most platforms offering only general connections rather than the specific support patients truly need.
Our Solution
Connect in the Ways That Matter Most to You
Tell us how you'd like to connect:
-
City-Based: We'll help you find others in your local area for regional support and resource sharing.
-
Workplace-Based: Connect with colleagues or others in your industry who understand the challenges of working with cancer.
-
Hospital-Based: We'll link you with fellow patients who are receiving or have received treatment at the same hospital.
-
Other: Let us know if you have other specific connection needs.
