There will be four 75-minute Zoom sessions over four weeks. Each session will have 30 minutes of educational material and 45 minutes of discussion. The topics of the  four sessions will be Living with Long-Term Treatment Side Effects, Fear of Recurrence & Living With Uncertainty, Sexual Health, Dating, and Relationships, and Returning to Work or School. Participants must be willing to commit to all 4 sessions. A brief introductory Zoom meeting with the clinician who facilitates the program before the start of the group is required.

  • Educational/Social Programming: Our in-person programming focuses on providing young adult patients with information around issues like dating and relationships, dealing with uncertainty, and managing anxiety and it also provides YA patients with an opportunity to connect with their peers. Any information about events can be found on our website, in the newsletter, and on social media (Facebook and Twitter).

Adult Survivorship Care: ​Chestnut Hill
The recently opened Dana-Farber clinics at the Chestnut Hill site are also an option for our survivorship patients. 
​Abigail Ciampa, NP holds in-person clinics several days each week.
During the COVID19 Pandemic, both our core and specialty providers shifted much of their clinical care to virtual visits. We will continue to offer virtual visits going forward, although most of our providers are currently seeing patients both virtually and in-clinic.
