My Breast Cancer Compass is here to guide patients, caregivers, friends and family members as they navigate the breast cancer journey.


This website was developed by a Steering Committee of health care professionals and patient organizations, with financial support from Hoffmann-La Roche Limited, to help inform, empower and provide support for patients with breast cancer and their caregivers.
