When breast cancer turns life upside down, two things matter most: trusted information and someone who can help you make sense of it. Learn Look Locate and CancerConnect, through the leadership of Charles H. Weaver, MD, come together to offer both—the science and the lived experience, in one aligned ecosystem.
Why Our Missions Align So Deeply
Learn Look Locate, founded by breast cancer survivor Cynthia Jordan, was created to transform fear into knowledge, connection, and visual storytelling that truly reflects how this disease feels in real life.
Dr. Charles H. Weaver is a pioneering medical oncologist, digital health leader, and founder of CancerConnect.com, a long-standing online cancer community that supports hundreds of thousands of patients every month. His career has focused on advancing cancer research, precision care, and patient education, making him a natural partner for a platform built to empower patients with clear, compassionate information.
When Dr. Weaver says, “I am pleased to help Learn Look Locate accomplish its mission of empowering individuals impacted by breast cancer to achieve optimal cancer care,” he is validating that Learn Look Locate delivers the kind of education and engagement he has spent decades building in oncology.
Cancer First Calls: Your First Step After Diagnosis
Hearing “you have breast cancer” is one of those moments that never leaves you, and it is easy to feel alone and unsure of your next step. Cancer First Call, featured on Learn Look Locate, is a free, first-of-its-kind advocacy program where oncologists—supported by the Personalized Medicine Foundation—help newly diagnosed or recurrent patients understand their diagnosis and options.
Through Cancer First Call, patients complete a simple registration and are connected with an oncologist who reviews their situation, answers questions, and helps map out next steps tailored to their specific type and stage of breast cancer. This is exactly the kind of “personalized recommendation” Dr. Weaver champions: guidance untainted by institutional or insurance pressures, focused instead on what is truly best for the individual.
Inside the Learn Look Locate x CancerConnect Community
On Learn Look Locate, community is not an afterthought—it is an integral part of the platform, and Dr. Weaver’s CancerConnect expertise amplifies that. Patients can access a breast cancer support community that blends moderated, medically grounded conversation with survivor voices, personal stories, and resources designed to help them feel seen, not just treated.
As Medical Advisor to Learn Look Locate and Executive Editor of CancerConnect, Dr. Weaver helps ensure that community discussions and educational touchpoints remain rooted in evidence while still honoring the emotional realities of breast cancer. This alignment means that when a patient moves between CancerConnect and Learn Look Locate, the tone, quality, and intention feel seamless: empowering, respectful, and centering the patient’s voice.
Trusted, Medically Reviewed Content Every Week
Education is only powerful if it is accurate and current, especially as treatments, screening recommendations, and genomic tools evolve. Dr. Weaver brings over 30 years of experience in oncology, stem cell research, and digital health to his role as a key medical reviewer for Learn Look Locate’s ongoing educational content.
From blogs on hormone therapy and breast biopsies to nuanced explanations of remission, NED, and metastatic treatment options, his oversight helps transform complex medical insights into language patients can understand and use. This collaboration means that when a reader comes from CancerConnect to a Learn Look Locate article, they are not just reading another blog—they are accessing content shaped and vetted by the same expert who built one of the most respected cancer communities online.
How This Partnership Serves Patients—and Where to Go Next
The partnership between Learn Look Locate and CancerConnect is not just symbolic; it is a living, practical pathway designed around what patients need most in real time. It offers:
- A first call with an oncologist through Cancer First Call to help you understand your diagnosis and options from day one.
- An ongoing, survivor-centered community that lives on Learn Look Locate, enriched by Dr. Weaver’s decades of experience in digital oncology.

As Dr. Weaver shares, he believes “it is extremely important that patients are educated and informed about all their treatment options,” and he views Learn Look Locate as “a unique platform that connects patients with the medical community, providing essential information in a way that resonates.” For anyone navigating breast cancer, moving between CancerConnect and Learn Look Locate is designed to feel like a single, supportive continuum—where expert guidance and lived experience walk alongside you every step of the way. https://learnlooklocate.com/
