What is Cancer Bites?

Cancer Bites is a community program designed to offer encouragement, connection, and strength to women facing breast and other cancers. It was created to help women feel less alone during one of the hardest times of their lives. Members share stories, resources, and hope while supporting one another through every stage of the journey. It’s not medical advice—it’s emotional and community support.

Does Cancer Bites offer medical advice?

No, Cancer Bites does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Our role is to share real-life experiences and create a safe space for encouragement. Any medical questions or treatment decisions should always be discussed with a licensed healthcare provider. Think of us as a circle of support, not a replacement for your care team.

How are donations used?

Donations go directly to supporting women in need. This may include providing meals, wellness resources, or transportation to treatment. Transparency is important, and funds are carefully directed to programs that make the greatest impact. Every contribution helps change lives.

How do I get started with Cancer Bites?

It’s simple—just join the Facebook group or connect through our website. Once inside, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive community. You can participate as much or as little as you’d like. Remember: even just being present is valuable, both for yourself and for others..

Breast Cancer: The Diagnosis That Sparked a Movement

Hello, my name is Siobhan and I am the chair of Growing to Give, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women in agriculture and feeding those in need. In June 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the midst of treatment, I realized how isolating and overwhelming the journey could feel. No woman should ever face this battle alone—and that realization gave birth to Cancer Bites.

Cancer Bites - The Mission

Cancer Bites is more than a program; it’s a community of encouragement, connection, and strength. We are here to uplift women fighting breast and other cancers, offering both emotional support and tangible resources to navigate the challenges of treatment and healing.

You Are Not Alone

Join us at facebook.com/groups/cancerbites and become part of a supportive network built on compassion, strength, and shared experiences. When you join, you step into a community of women who truly understand what it means to face cancer—the fears, the questions, the victories both big and small.

Here, you’ll find encouragement on the hard days and celebration on the good ones. It’s a safe space to share your story, ask for advice, or simply listen and feel less alone. You’ll discover opportunities not only to receive support, but also to give it—because sometimes lifting others up can be just as healing as being lifted yourself.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in the middle of treatment, a survivor, or a loved one walking alongside someone in the fight, Cancer Bites is a place where you belong. Together, we replace isolation with connection and hopelessness with hope.
