Our Commitment
The Cancer Compass Beyond The Diagnosis is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to uplifting those navigating life with Colon Cancer. We are built on the firm belief that no person should walk this difficult path in isolation. Our mission is to transform lives and drive progress through a focus on advocacy, community education, essential patient support, and research.
Established on October 25, 2024, by Angel Thomas, this organization is a living tribute to her Mother, Rosalinde M. Roberts. Our work honors the unwavering kindness and strength Rosalinde showed throughout her 15-month battle with Stage 4 Colon Cancer before her passing on September 11, 2024. Her bravery fuels our dedication to helping families.
Following our official public debut on March 20, 2026, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of a world where every patient and family member touched by Cancer receives the empathetic care and reliable guidance they truly deserve.
In Loving Memory: Rosalinde M. Roberts
