Supportline:
Would you like to support others?

In addition to providing financial assistance and education to Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)/bone marrow transplant patients, we believe that personal one-on-one conversation in non-medical terms, whether it’s between patients, families or caregivers, is a very important part of the treatment process.

Supportline is a free service designed to link patients who may be considering or actually undergoing bone marrrow/Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) transplantation and/or their family members and caregivers with post-transplant patients and their family members and caregivers. The goal is to provide direct telephone or on-line support and encouragement during the transplant experience from the unique perspective of someone who has experienced it.

We invite you to join Supportline as a Mentor. Supportline Mentors are either a post-transplant patient, family member or caregiver willing to volunteer their time to help other patients, family members or caregivers. the Bone Marrow & Cancer Foundation provides a brief training for Mentors, which can be done over the phone with a BMCF social worker. When you sign up for Supportline, you can tell us whether you are interested in becoming a Mentor or a Seeker.

To sign up for Supportline, just complete the form below. Information from this form will assist us in arranging the best Mentor/Seeker match.

If you do not have access to an email address, please contact the Bone Marrow & Cancer Foundation by phone at 1-800-365-1336, and we will sign you up – whether you are looking for a Mentor or would like to become one.

“Thank you for introducing me to Tammy! Our stories are so very similar. It feels so good to be able to share some insight from my transplant process. The SupportLine program is a wonderful idea!”
