When The CanSurvivor’s Network was developed in 2014, it was initially a blog to document a personal experience with a stage two breast cancer diagnosis. The goal was to emphasize survivorship over cancer, hence the portmanteau of ‘Cancer’ and ‘Survivor’ in the company name. We are a highly inclusive organization that understands the stigmas and disdain towards surviving, we now utilize vernacular around our second passion of music to describe our customer base defined by the following:
The Fans: The audience that is not directly impacted by any cancer-based diagnoses and supports our initiatives.
The Team: Friends, family, partners, and medical teams involved in the experience.
The Roadies: Commonly known as ‘Previvors,’ ‘Roadies’ are individuals who have discovered they have a genetic mutation that carries a high likelihood of developing into Cancer. Many ‘Roadies’ have undergone preventative surgeries resulting in removal and/or amputation.
The Rockstars: Individuals directly impacted by an early-stage Cancer diagnosis at an early stage. ‘Rockstars’ come into the experience with unique, yet similar diagnoses. Like ‘Roadies,’ it is possible they have undergone surgeries resulting in removal and/or amputation.
The Superstars: Individuals directly impacted by late-stage or incurable Cancer diagnosis that involves Metastatic Cancer. ‘Superstars’ have the highest likelihood of dying from their diagnoses and receive non-stop treatment. It is possible ‘Superstars’ began their experiences as ‘Roadies’ or ‘Rockstars.’
The Supernovas: Individuals who have passed on with their disease or side effects of treatment being the culprit.
The Band: An all-encompassing term to describe the directly-impacted individuals: ‘Roadies,’ ‘Rockstars,’ ‘Superstars,’ and ‘Supernovas.’
The CanSurvivor’s Network would not be possible without individuals who exemplify “The B.R.A.V.E.R.Y.”: Brilliant, Resilient, Amazing, Valuable, Enterprising, Real, YOU! In every person is intelligence and ingenuity. We aim to cultivate those qualities in order to break down inequities in the cancer community while promoting businesses from the get-go. Early buy-in is not easy in a Universe that is algorithm-obsessed and promotes sensationalism over context. In other words, we see YOU!
