You never have to face breast cancer alone. Find somebody who understands with Someone Like Me.

We’ll match you with a trained volunteer who’s had a similar experience to you. They'll be a phone call or email away to answer your questions, offer support or simply listen. Whatever you need to talk about. Because there’s nothing like finding someone who really understands what you’re going through.

Finding someone to speak to

The Someone Like Me service can put you in touch with a volunteer who has been trained to help, whether you’d like to speak to someone who has personal experience of the challenges you are facing or someone who can simply offer a listening ear.

Our volunteers are able to:

  • listen without judgment
  • offer emotional support and practical tips
  • share their own experiences where relevant
  • support you if you need to make informed decisions
  • be there for you if you just need someone to talk to

Whatever you are concerned about, whether it's the shock of a diagnosis, making decisions about treatment or how to adjust to life afterwards, or that you are feeling isolated, support is just a phone call or email away. 

 

Zahida [my volunteer] was the voice of reason and reassurance that what I was feeling and experiencing was normal for the situation I was in. She shared her similar experiences. It wasn’t all doom and gloom. We laughed at certain things that had happened just as much as I cried. If she could do it, then so could I.
