When your child has cancer, everything changes. You have to learn a new vocabulary, alter your day-to-day routines, and make critical decisions about your child’s health. 

Families who face childhood cancer may feel alone. But it shouldn't have to be this way.

Connecting with other patient families can be one of the best ways to deal with the emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges your family faces.

The Together by St. Jude^TM Community provides patients, survivors, and families a safe, online forum to connect with one another. It is open to everyone affected by childhood cancer, no matter where the patient receives treatment. Discussions are monitored by St. Jude employees and volunteers to foster a secure and welcoming environment.

On the Together by St. Jude™ Community, users can:

• Seek advice from people who have walked a similar path.
• Build relationships with people in familiar situations.
• Offer support to those who need it.
• Learn more about managing diagnosis, treatment, and side effects.
