At Thriving Beyond Breast Cancer, we understand the unique challenges you face on your breast cancer journey.
Resources & Support
We know that navigating breast cancer isn’t just a physical battle, it’s a financial one too. That’s why our stipend program is designed for young women like you, aged 21-40, who are in active treatment and could use a financial boost. We want to help give you the freedom to focus on what really matters — your healing journey.
You’ve got enough on your plate, and worrying about finances shouldn’t be one of them. Our stipends aim to ease that burden, so you can channel all your energy into recovery and well-being. Think of it as a helping hand, a small but significant step that can make your path to healing a little less rocky.
So, if you’re in the moderate-income range and could use some financial relief, take a moment to apply. We’re here to empower you, uplift you, and remind you that you’re not walking this path alone. Click the button below to learn more and take the first step toward a more supported journey.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women.
Younger people, particularly those under age 35 at the time of their original breast cancer diagnosis, face a higher risk of breast cancer recurrence.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States.
Nearly 80% of young women diagnosed with breast cancer find their breast abnormality themselves.
It occurs once in every 3,000 pregnancies. An estimated 30% or more of all breast cancer in young women is diagnosed in the few years after a woman has had a baby.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women who are pregnant or have recently given birth.
Compared to older women, young women generally face more aggressive cancers and lower survival rates.
More and more evidence tells us that breast cancer before age 40 differs biologically from the cancer faced by older women.
The incidence of metastatic breast cancer at the time of initial diagnosis is rising in women under the age of 40.
