SUPPORT FOR Colorectal Cancer patients and caregivers

That is what this board is for.

This is not a place for pushing agendas for anything else. It is not a place to come and disrupt everyone in the name of some treatment idea have if you are not a patient or caregiver for CRC. There is a reason ACS split this board into cancers by categories. Stick to your own category because the treatments for each cancer are unique.

No one here is acting at the level of a medical professional (even if they are one), so there is no point in coming in and giving medical advice, unless you are affected by CRC and can reply with what you have personally tried, or something you've researched and are considering. These are just ideas to clink around - there is no "one size fits all" answer to treatment. But I do take offense to people that are not part of this community coming in just to push a specific agenda. That is NOT what this board is about.

Let's all stick to the purpose of this board - supporting each other through CRC diagnosis, treatment, and beyond, dealing with side effects, emotions, treatment decisions and more.

How this disease affects us emotionally & physically, options for treatment be they mainstream, complimentary or alternative (as long as there is evidence of peer reviewed data to point to), and general discussion about CRC is why we are here.

Time to get back to basics. Trolls please go away. Don't post and don't PM us.

Absolutely in agreement.
Thank you, Kathryn, for making this so clear!
PS I like the spelling of your name...it's what we named our oldest daughter and the spelling we chose to use (although she insists on Kat these days...sigh).
