    Dear Matt — There is a terrific discussion group online, the BMT-Talk
    group. It’s moderated, very well-informed and very lively.  There are
    about 250-300 folks on that group — many patients, survivors, family
    members, friends, health care professionals, etc.  It’s a tremendous
    clearing house for information and to give and get support.  The diseases
    treated are leukemia (and lymphomas), breast cancer and ovarian.  There
    are also folks on that group who have those diseases, and probably will
    NOT be having a BMT, but find the group has good info on coping with
    cancer in general.  After all, there is a lot to deal with, even if one
    doesn’t go the full route to a BMT.  To subscribe, send a message to

    bmt-talk-requ…@ai.mit.edu

    in the text, simply put      subscribe

    The messages will start arriving within a few hours – the group churns up
    about 10-15 posts/day, some for information, some with good news, some
    sad, some humorous……..people compare transplant centers thru it,
    compare the advice their physicians and nurses give them, discuss how to
    talk to their children, etc, etc, etc……

    very best — Judith Miller (I had an allogeneic BMT 2.5 yrs ago for AML
    at Emory in Atlanta and am doing great…..)
