Support Programs
Long-term Survivor Listserv
We have had several requests to develop a Listserv that enables long-term survivors to be in touch with each other and to share information of general interest. If you are five or more years distant from your last cancer treatment and would like to be part of this endeavor, please email Hester Hill Schnipper at: hhill@bidmc.harvard.edu or 617-632-8037.
