Great in theory…
Wonderful idea but the app 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 the app 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.

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

Hello jdog02934, thank you for your kind words. Please keep supporting the app by promoting it with your support circle if it's possible.
Fabulous resource
Incredibly helpful to find other people who understand your lived experience
Wonderful App!
This App is exactly what cancer patients and caregivers need! Being a caregiver in the past and now a patient myself I have found this App 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.

Hi, thank you for the support. You make this community awesome and we're happy you are part of it!
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.

Amazing idea and app!
Wow. This app is such a great tool for the cancer community, I’m so thankful I found it.
Much better
Very much wanted to join in, but the initial log in kept going in circles
Was able to successfully install the app!
I’ve joined - cancer survivor - Hodgkins - and can now offer support to those who may need it

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.

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.
