Live Online Chat

We know what you are going through. Let's talk to each other.

Register Now for Online Live Chats

Recognizing the needs of cancer survivors from the initial phase of diagnosis through treatment decisions and survivorship, the online chat forums bring non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, CML and young adult survivors together to share experiences and offer mutual support. The online live chats are not a replacement for psychotherapy or support groups.

These two-hour weekly live chats are offered to registrants and are moderated by oncology social workers. The role of the moderator/facilitator is provide support and  guide conversation, as needed, throughout the chats. The moderator's role is largely determined by the wants and needs of participants in each group.

The on-going, live online chat groups are held as follows:
