Blood Cancer UK’s space to connect with others on active monitoring (otherwise known as ‘watch and wait’).
You might notice we’ve updated this category from ‘watch and wait’ to ‘active monitoring.’ The UK medical community is shifting to this term because it better reflects what’s actually happening - regular appointments, blood tests, scans, and close monitoring by clinical teams. It recognises this is active healthcare management, not simply passively waiting.
Both terms describe the same approach to care, and you’ll find the same supportive community here.
