You don’t have to face breast cancer alone.

Peerly connects people navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, or at high risk, with mentors who’ve been there, for free

The gap in care

Breast cancer care is advanced. Human support isn’t.

At diagnosis you are given a medical team, a treatment plan, and a great deal of information. What you are rarely given is the thing people ask for first: someone who has actually been through it.

Peerly is that missing layer. One person who has walked a path remarkably similar to yours, matched to you deliberately, alongside your care, never instead of it.

Before you apply

The questions people ask first.

The ones we hear most. The rest are on the FAQ.

What is Peerly?

Peerly connects people navigating a high risk or breast cancer diagnosis with a trained peer mentor who has been through something similar. It’s one-to-one support built on a real relationship with someone who gets it because they’ve lived it, alongside your medical care.

Is Peerly free?

Yes, Peerly is free for anyone seeking support. We are a non-profit and we never want cost to stand between someone and the support they need.

How does the matching work?

When you sign up, we ask about the things that tend to matter most: your diagnosis, where you are in treatment, your age and life stage, and what kind of support you’re looking for. We use that to pair you with a mentor whose experience closely mirrors your own, so the connection feels relevant from the very first conversation.

Who are the mentors, and are they trained?

Every mentor is someone who has personally navigated a high risk or breast cancer journey and has been vetted and trained by the Peerly team.
