text: Our live, weekly online chats provide a friendly forum to share experiences and chat with others about anything from the initial phase of diagnosis to treatment and survivorship. Each chat is moderated by an oncology social worker. The role of the moderator/facilitator is to 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 chat. The online chats are not a replacement for psychotherapy or support groups. We invite you to join.
  Participants must agree to the terms posted on the registration page, including posting truthful and appropriate comments, staying on topic, listening to and respecting others, and protecting privacy.
  This chat provides a forum for family members and friends to address the stresses and triumphs shared by those caring for someone with a blood cancer. The chat is open for you to discuss issues such as the anxiety of a new diagnosis, treatment decisions, relapse, treatment side effects, emotional and physical toll, fatigue, interpersonal relationships, caregiver "burnout," living with uncertainty, and other issues related to caring for someone with a blood cancer.
