Can’t create an Account

While I absolutely love the idea, I think CancerBuddy still needs to work through some kinks. It won’t even allow me to create an account. I get a message saying I’ve exceeded the number of daily logins for my email when I try to create an account/password. Not sure how I can exceed the login access, when I’ve never logged in? Excited to see improvements!

I’ll stick to my social media

Looked at it, but I don’t really see the point. I want support from the people who know me and love me. And on Facebook, Insta, etc there are plenty of ways to connect with other patients and survivors. Cute idea but not for me. I don’t have the energy to follow another channel right now.

Great in theory…

Wonderful idea but CancerBuddy doesn’t seem to work well. It took lots of time to create the profile due to crashing and not loading properly. Once I was done I tried searching the groups but nothing showed up when I typed in the keywords box. All that shows up is the preloaded groups. Finding buddies isn’t very easy either. I can’t search by state. And when I do get results from the filters, they are minimal. So either there’s not many people using CancerBuddy or it’s not loading properly. Either way, I wish it wasn’t so hard to use. I’ll be looking for other options that are similar.

Amazing App!!

If you are apart of cancer community, this is CancerBuddy for you. Caregivers, survivors, newly diagnosed!!! Join a community that understands.

Fabulous resource

Incredibly helpful to find other people who understand your lived experience

LOVE this app!!

CancerBuddy is exactly what was missing from the cancer community. I’ve made so many connections already with caregivers going through exactly what I am…

CancerBuddy review

CancerBuddy is great. As a cancer survivor it truly makes me feel much less alone. I am so happy that CancerBuddy exists. If you are a cancer patient , caregiver or survivor I hope you get CancerBuddy.

Great peer support app for cancer patients, caregivers and survivors!

A great app to help cancer patients, survivors and caregivers, the groups are wonderful place to get advice and support. Hope more people connect and join to build a community.

Such an amazing app

As a cancer survivor CancerBuddy has been such an amazing way to meet and connect with other people who are battled the same way that I was. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

Great app for people affected by cancer!

As a cancer survivor, it’s amazing to use CancerBuddy to connect with others that have had similar diagnosis’ to me! I love chatting with others and also joining the support groups. 10/10 recommend!!!!!

I can’t even put into words what this app has done for me in my life. It’s truly been life changing.

CancerBuddy has truly changed my life. It has allowed me to explore different communities, hear the cancer journeys of others, and connect with some of my closest friends—relationships that I know will last a lifetime. this app has given me hope, confidence, a supportive community, and most importantly, friendship.

If you’re hesitant about downloading this app, I hope this review helps you make the leap. Whether you’re a survivor, patient, or caregiver, CancerBuddy is a valuable resource. Caregivers, especially, should never feel alone while supporting their loved ones through cancer. this app offers caregivers a community of peers, advice on self-care, and encouragement to navigate this challenging journey together.

If you’ve read this far, what are you waiting for? Download this app now and take the first step toward finding your community!🙏🥹❤️

Great resource for the cancer community

This is a really important way for patients, caregivers, and family to connect with others in their area, with a similar diagnosis, at the same institution or in any way that is helpful to build a supportive community.

Makes Cancer Less Lonely

CancerBuddy is exactly what I needed as a young adult who is trying to navigate a life with cancer. I not only met people on CancerBuddy who understand exactly what I’m going through but even made a friend who I was able to meet in-person!

Great App for Support

So thankful for the ability to support and make connections with other survivors. The ability to make friends and connect with others is so important, and I love the features CancerBuddy has to make that possible. The groups are great and everyone is awesome!

Love the idea!

Really appreciate a modern take here, only issue is it’s not letting me finish setting up my account. When I get to the “Diagnosis” box it can’t find any relevant cancers no matter what I type in (regardless of how generic or how few letters are in there).

And I don’t have the option to skip that section so I can’t get to the core of CancerBuddy :(

Connecting during and after cancer - such a gift

Great resource for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. Individuals can connect or there are also support groups through CancerBuddy . I love the support groups- accessible 24/7 When you are going through cancer you need support. You need to know you are not alone. Thank you cancer buddy!

Great Resource for Struggling Patients!

As an oncology nurse, I struggled with finding a good solution for patients looking for support groups especially those who are unable to travel until I found Cancer Buddy! The ease and convenience of use is amazing and the community is so welcoming. I highly recommend CancerBuddy to all patients with cancer who are in need of personalized support! ❤️

Wonderful App!

CancerBuddy is exactly what cancer patients and caregivers need! Being a caregiver in the past and now a patient myself I have found CancerBuddy to be extremely helpful and has helped me feel less alone while navigating these medical journeys. It is super easy to use and was created by the most amazing supportive and compassionate team at The Bone Marrow and Cancer Foundation.

The Healing Power of Community

When my Dad was diagnosed with AML and underwent a bone marrow transplant, it was difficult to find people who could related to our experience. Cut to Cancer Buddy. My Dad and I are able to connect with other patients and caregivers. Hear their experience, strength and hope. The power of community and these relationships have been paramount in my Dad's healing and my own mental health as a caregiver.

Great idea!

It’s great to put all these warriors in contact.
