Hi everyone

Very new to this, in fact not a big poster to any chats, not even a FB. Yes.... there ate still people like that.

I'd like a recommendation what is the most appropriate group for us to use. 

This is very new for me to take in and any recommendation will be most appreciated.

Thank you

  • Hi  and a warm welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about your daughter/son?…… leukaemia diagnosis.

    A cancer journey can be so stressful and challenging in many ways but I do hope you find the community a safe place to get support and ask your questions.

    I am Mike and I help out around our blood cancer groups. I don’t have leukaemia but we do have a few dedicated leukaemia groups (there a few types of leukaemia) so have a look and find the best group for his/her leukaemia

    Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia forum

    Acute myeloid  leukaemia

    Chronic myeloid leukaemia

    CLL, SLL, HCL

    General Leukaemia

    groups. These are safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions, get support and talk with others who are supporting family and friends on their journey.

    If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green link I have created above. Then once the page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go.

    You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post and as always you can reply to existing ‘Discussions’ by click [reply].

    Always around if you need further help in navigating the community but I will keep an eye open if you post in any of the groups.
