At a glance ⬇
Cancer Chat was launched in 2008 and is a moderated discussion forum run by Cancer Research UK where you can talk to others affected by cancer, share experiences and get support.
If you're affected by cancer, whether you have cancer, or you're a family member or friend of someone with cancer, it can be valuable to talk to people who have had similar experiences.
Cancer Chat is here for you whenever – and wherever – you need it.
Sometimes just knowing that someone has survived having had cancer, has survived losing someone close to cancer, or is living a quality life with cancer, is enough to bring a glimmer of hope to people in what can be very dark days and long nights.
