Does anyone know of a good cancer chat room (live)?

I haven't found anything particularly good out there. I'm happy to start one, but would prefer to use an established one. Are there any that you frequent?

Note: not a forum, like this (asynchronous). Looking for a real-time chat where people are on there with similar issues.

It was invariably empty. There were three "bots" always on - llbot, something like support bot (but away) and "figures* which was also away all the time.

Is that really the best the Internet can do? 'Cause I'll fix that ever so quick.

On edit: on the surface it seems busy, because when you log in you're dually logged into the lounge and the cancer discussions, but if you limit to the cancer discussion, you'll find out people are rarely if ever there.
