Community Agreement & Guidelines
1. Support, Not Science (Medical Boundaries)
-
Shared Experience only: This is a space for emotional connection, not medical advice or clinical consultation.
-
"I" over "You": Frame your story with "This worked for me" rather than "You should try this."
-
Trust the Pros: Always consult your oncology team before making any changes to your care plan.
2. The Circle of Trust (Privacy)
-
Confidentiality: What is said here stays here. Do not share members' names or stories outside the group.
-
Digital Lockdown: No recording or screenshots allowed
3. Respectful Communication
-
Step Up, Step Back: Be mindful of how much space you take; leave room for quieter voices to be heard.
-
Listen to Understand: Focus on witnessing each other's truths without interrupting or "fixing."
4. Emotional Safety & Boundaries
-
No "Toxic Positivity": You don't have to be "brave" here. Anger, sadness, and fear are just as welcome as hope.
-
Right to Pass: Participation is always optional. It is perfectly okay to just listen.
-
Self-Care First: You are encouraged to step away or leave the call if a topic becomes too heavy.
