I Had Cancer Guidelines

We're all here for similar reasons - we've been touched by cancer in some way. It’s up to all of us to show each other that no one is alone. Your IHadCancer profile is your own place to call home during this crazy thing called cancer, we just ask that you keep these simple guidelines in mind when participating.

1. Always Be Nice. This is a place for connections and conversations – we encourage you all to talk openly but please remain considerate in all of your engagement. Don’t post obscene, hateful or objectionable content. Abuse and disrespect will not be tolerated in the IHC community and is subject to deletion and user removal at our discretion.

2. Be a Good Friend. The IHC community is a family. Please remember to be a good friend to the connections you make on IHC. Ask questions that you wish someone would ask you; if you can’t find the right words to say, send a hug, it can speak louder than words. A simple gesture goes a long way.

3. Don't Spam. This includes sending unsolicited messages of any nature, posting links to unrelated content, promoting a survey, fundraiser or product where it shouldn’t be promoted. If you aren’t sure if something is appropriate to post, e-mail us and we’ll let you know.

4. Think Before You Post. Everything you post on IHadCancer is secure, but it is up to you to monitor how much or how little information you are sharing about yourself and your experience. Please don’t share personal or identifiable information like your mailing address or your full name and don’t share other member’s information.

5. If You See Something, Say Something. We work hard to make sure these guidelines are followed closely but if you see something that doesn’t’ feel right to you, please let us know. We review every report we receive and will take anything you say to heart. We promise.

6. Be Open. Welcome newcomers and help guide them through this journey based on your own experience. Whether you are a survivor, fighter, caregiver or supporter, you have valuable information that can very well help someone else who is just beginning the cancer journey. Be open to sharing experiences and give someone else the gift of your time.

Thanks for being a part of our community. It’s up to all of us to ensure that IHadCancer remains a place for us all to call home when dealing with the ups and downs of a cancer diagnosis.

Fighter: Carcinoid Tumor

Dear Cancer, It is Time for an Eviction By Allen Crouse You moved in many years ago as a squatter without notice or permission. You were able to reside for over 15 years undetected. Then all of your sloppy housekeeping and not taking care of the place you chose to reside in caught up with you. I went to the court to evict you, and was told I would have to follow a few procedures to get rid of you. Judge Thomas recommended that we hire contractor Robinson to cut out some of the residence that you had just totally demolished and destroyed. Then Judge Thomas recommended that we get exterminator to come by and put some chemicals out to irritate you, and hopefully you’ll move out. Well after following all of Judge Thomas’s recommendations, I had to appeal to a higher court for action since you were just simply refusing to move out. When my day came to appear before the superior judge. He reviewed my case and look at me as I stood before him. I could see him studying me before telling me this simple message. He said Allen will you trust and believe that I will take care of this for you? I said yes I do and will, as you are the only way that I believe to resolve this. He said I will rid you of this squatter by either total eviction of the residence and or provide you with a new dwelling. As I was leaving, Peter the bailiff said to me, Allen there is nothing that you can bring to Judge Jesus that he cannot resolve, one way or the other. You just have to believe in him. Thomas is my Oncologist, Robinson was my surgeon.
