    Hi all,

    The holiday season can be a hard and stressful time, especially for those who are battling melanoma (or have a friend, family member or loved one battling). Each year we receive calls from patients, survivors and caregivers asking for tips for coping with the holidays. To answer those questions and more, we're hosting a Twitter chat about "Coping With The Holidays" on Monday, December 15 at 2pm ET with special guest, licensed oncology social worker  Dr. Sage Bolte from Life With Cancer. Dr. Bolte will be on hand to answer questions like "How do I manage feelings of resentment or frustration", "How do I tell young family members why I dont feel well?", "How do I cope with the feeling of 'death' during a time that is supposed to be joyous?", "How do I honor a loved one's memory while still enjoying the holiday?" and more. 

    We want to hear from you – what other questions do you think should be addressed? What questions come to your mind that you think would be hlepful for others? Please let us know in the comments below or email me at lsmithdyer@melanoma.org. Thank you for your suggestions and we hope you join us in the chat on the 15th.

    Here is a link for more information about joining the chat: http://www.melanoma.org/get-involved/calendar-of-events/twitter-chat-coping-holidays

        HI there,

        Yes, absolutely! We will post it to the MRF website (here) and we can post it on MPIP, as well. Also, you can follow the conversation on Twitter without having a Twitter account. If you're interested, you can do that my visiting this link and searching for #MRFChat!
