You are more than a diagnosis.
Connecting Through Stories, Thriving Through Community
More Than A Diagnosis is a place for connection, encouragement, support, and resources by and for folks living with chronic illness and those touched by cancer. Join us on a journey where we explore the human experience beyond medical labels. Discover inspiring stories, insightful conversations, valuable resources, and a community that redefines what it means to live with a diagnosis.
We’re growing! More Than a Diagnosis is now an official nonprofit organization. We’re busy working behind the scenes rebuilding our platform and programs to better serve the our community. Join our email list to be the first to know when we relaunch.

Jes and Den are lifelong friends who found their way back to each other thanks to the wild ride of cancer and chronic illness.
Jes went through triple-negative breast cancer and now navigates the long-term side effects of treatment. Den lives with FAP, a rare genetic condition, alongside other chronic illnesses. Through it all, they’ve found the magic of community, connection, and telling the real, messy stories.​
