Who are we?

Cancer Buddies Network is a website that went live in August 2006. It was created by Jan who experienced cancer in 2001.

Jan drew huge comfort from being able to walk through every stage of her journey hand in hand with someone else in exactly the same situation.

The aim of this website is to give to others what Jan found so vital in helping her recovery and to getting her through the good and bad times along the way. The objective of Cancer Buddies Network (CBN) is to help everyone find that special buddy on the internet for the purpose of sharing, caring and supporting each other through the ups and downs of their personal experiences.

This site welcomes everybody, there are no barriers. We all need love and understanding on what is possibly the most important journey of our lives.

We support users, carers, friends and relatives in their quest for companionship as they travel along their own road, or watch a loved one taking the trip.

Let us help you find the cancer support you need – come in and meet your cancer buddy right here, right now!

		Until I was diagnosed with cancer I didn't really know what the word 'alone' meant even though I'd been single until my forties. Through 'cancerbuddies' I found a buddy who had the same diagnosis and had completed similar treatment - and even at the same hospital. Now that chemotherapy has ended and the operation is drawing near, she is helping me keep on an even keel - and we are even able to make each other laugh! I was told that the treatment would be a long journey - it's a lot easier to make a journey like this with others beside you who have been there before and can be reassuring when everything seems so frightening and overwhelming.
