Circle Signal

Circle Signal helps people in active cancer treatment stay personally connected to the people who love them — without the exhausting burden of managing dozens of individual conversations. Patients send one update to tiered circles of support. Recipients respond with a single emoji. No text replies. No overwhelm. Always free for patients.

I am Cynthia Rodriguez — a breast cancer patient in active treatment, a grandmother, 8 years sober, and the founder of Circle Signal. I built this app because I needed it and it didn’t exist. I know what it costs to lie in bed during chemotherapy, too exhausted to respond to the people who love you — and still feel guilty for the silence. Circle Signal is my answer to that pain. I am building it so no one else has to pray for forgiveness just for being tired.
