Each month, we host a #CUREConnect Tweet Chat to bring together patients with cancer, survivors, advocates, caregivers & treatment providers to promote collaboration within the community. The chats take place on Twitter on the last Thursday of every month, at 1 p.m. EST.

During the chat, we'll be asking the following questions:

Mental Health Through Treatment

Anxiety and depression are common challenges patients face while living with cancer. Have you experienced these issues? And if so, how do you cope with them?

Cancer-Related Pain

During treatment, anxiety and pain can often become problematic for patients with cancer. How do you cope with cancer- or treatment-related pain?

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials offer a chance to try experimental treatments and move the state of science forward. What do you wish you knew more about clinical trials?

Health and Nutrition

Good nutrition can help patients with cancer manage treatment-related side effects and even reduce the risk of recurrence – but it can be difficult to maintain a healthy diet. What are some tips or tricks you have to keep your appetite healthy while living with cancer?

Cancer and Your Career

Cancer can throw a person’s life into turmoil and take the focus off a patient’s career for a time. If you worked through treatment, how did you manage to balance life between cancer and your career?
