Watch & Wait Blood Cancer Support Group

Topic: Surviving & thriving with blood cancer

*Please note, this Watch & Wait group is for those diagnosed with blood cancer or disorder who have not received any active treatment.

What does it mean to survive blood cancer?  Some people after treatment ask ‘what now’? Others describe feeling a sense of ‘guilt’ having gotten through treatment and survived. For many, blood cancer is a chronic disease so the concept “survivor” may be hard to relate to. While the aim of blood cancer management is to not only survive blood cancer but to thrive, we will explore both the physical and emotional reality of this along with some guidance to enable you to live as well as possible.

These groups are interactive in nature & your participation is valued.  Where possible, we encourage cameras to be turned on for the session to create a warm and safe environment for all participants.

Group sizes are limited so registration is essential.
