The Holden Comprehensive Cancer
Center's Online Support Group Legal Disclaimer
Medicine is an ever-changing science. As new research and
clinical experience broadens our knowledge, changes in
treatment and drug therapy are required. The facilitators
have checked with sources believed to be reliable in their
efforts to provide information that is complete and
generally in accord with the standards accepted at the time
of posting. However, in view of the possibility of human
error or changes in medical sciences, neither the
facilitators nor The University of Iowa nor any other party
who has been involved in the preparation or on-going
functioning of this group warrants that the information
contained herein is accurate or complete, and they are not
responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results
obtained from the use of such information. Any information
pertaining to your health should be reviewed with your
physician. Nothing provided herein should be construed as a
substitute for professional advice or treatment by a health
care professional. Although good faith efforts have been
taken to preserve participant confidentiality, The
University of Iowa makes no guarantees in this regard nor to
information communicated by and between participants in this
forum.
Group Rules
We would like to remind you:
Participants must respect rules of confidentiality.
This includes both online and offline discussions.
Anything you learn about other members of the group
should remain confidential at all times. You are encouraged to post as frequently as you would
like. Please be respectful of the opinions of other group
members. Remember that no one experience or feeling is
"right" or "wrong." If you have difficulty understanding the group
discussion or need any information about the group,
please send a message to the group facilitators, Jan Locher, Linda Abbott, Joan Felkner, or Keri Mercer. Remember that others are here for the same reason as
you. Feel free to raise issues and concerns, ask for
assistance, and support one another. Participants may read or post messages at any time.
However, the group facilitators will only be
moderating the discussion forum on Monday through Friday
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will be no
facilitator moderation over weekends and holidays. Welcome to The Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center's
Online Support Group and enjoy the discussion forum!
