Chronic Disease and Chronic Condition Support Community
Leukemia can mean long stretches when you have to be careful about crowds and illness to protect your health. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with serious illness, so you can have company without any risk from being in a room together.
Live groups available daily.
Understanding leukemia
Leukemia treatment can last a long time and may include hospital stays and periods when a person is told to avoid large crowds and people who are sick, because of the risk of infection.
How peer support helps with leukemia
Peer support can help with leukemia because isolation is often part of the treatment itself. An online group brings other people into your day when visitors and outings are limited.
What leukemia groups often cover
- Weeks or months away from normal life
- Staying connected when you cannot see people in person
- Being the parent of a child in treatment
- Returning to work or school after treatment
ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Who these groups may help
- People with acute or chronic leukemia
- People who are isolating during treatment
- Parents and caregivers, and anyone recovering after a transplant
