Patient to Survivor Links

Cure For Lymphoma Foundation Patient-to-Patient Network
The Patient-to-Patient Network helps provide a link between a newly diagnosed patients  and a lymphoma survivor via the telephone, letter writing, or email. By just following the brief application procedure, patients and family members are matched with survivors and experienced family members who can share unique insights into living with lymphoma. You can join this program as a newly diagnosed patient or a survivor. Family members of newly diagnosed patients and survivors are also invited to join the Network.

Leukemia Lymphoma Society First Connection Program
The First Connection program provides a phone call or visit to a newly diagnosed patient by a patient in remission. This unique match gives the patient something that no one else can: a firsthand look at having "been there." Patients will be matched with a peer for age, diagnosis and gender when possible. Peers will be trained in basic counseling skills and armed with local resource materials so that patients need not feel isolated as they begin the process of treatment. Anyone with leukemia or related cancers is eligible to receive a call or visit. There is no charge for this program. Volunteers are also needed to keep this program going. The Leukemia Lymphoma society asks that  for more information you contact your local chapter  or visit their web site bulletin board.
