At the age of 43, Alessandra was diagnosed with two breast carcinomas, and the tumour had spread to the lymph nodes in her arm. She underwent a total mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection, followed by six months of chemotherapy.
The story
From a hospital bed, a vision.
Between hospitals and clinics, she uncovered a systemic gap: millions of patients and families are left alone, with no platform integrating emotional, nutritional and practical support. Oncology care, she realised, is not democratic.
Oncotribe was born from a patient who experienced isolation first-hand, saw the system's failures up close, and decided to build the solution herself.
Oncotribe is the answer to this gap.
