At Marrowforums , patients and their families, friends, and caregivers assist and support each other through discussion and sharing. The diseases are rare, but the patients and those who care about them are not alone! Enter the forums The first line of defense against bone marrow failure diseases is medical care — the hospitals, doctors, nurses, specialists, and other professionals who diagnose, treat, and monitor patients. Beyond that, there are many day-to-day concerns that patients and their families face, and they can learn much from other patients and families to help them cope with illness and be well-informed participants in their own care. The personal discussions at Marrowforums facilitate this person-to-person support.
