I don't think there is a real time chat room here. When you post a question in one of the sections someone will usually reply that day. It is a close knit family of members. You will get to know us as well as members of your family. You can also private message and or email many of the members.
We can vent here about cancer and all the different treatments to people who can relate. I don't like people feeling sorry for me. Last year I was DX in mid-July and we had a family reunion three days before my surgery. We have a reunion every year. Well when the cameras came out and everyone wanted to take a picture of me it made me feel worse. If you know what I mean.
We all go thru a pity party at some time but if you are a regular poster here that won't last long. There are so many others who have battled like hell to survive this bastard of a diaease. The bar was set quite high. I'm sorry if I loss sight of your posting but I have been a little down myself the last week or so.
I believe it's harder to be a caregiver than a patient. There is a special place in God's world for caregivers.
Best Wishes, Danny Boy!
