Cancer Talk by LHC is a group is to bring patients, caregivers, survivors and cancer specialists together. You can ask treatment-related questions, tell inspiring stories and jokes, connect with others, send hugs…anything you feel. We’ll also share some technical content about cancer & complementary treatments from time to time on this group.
We monitor the group, but it is a place for you to be comfortable and say what you feel. Please just be courteous of others who may have just started their own journeys. When you do post, consider carefully before giving out any of your own personal info (i.e. telephone numbers, addresses, etc.).
Please note that any posts to sell anything or specifically asking for donations will be removed.
Also, all new members will have to have their first several posts reviewed approved by one of the Group Moderators.
Other than that, it’s a free-for-all of sorts!
The Cancer Talk by LHC COMMUNITY is the survivor-initiated, patient-friendly, caretaker-welcoming, taboo-breaking, myth-busting compassionate & hospitable global community beloved by those who belong.
All new members are asked to read and respect our guidelines-
- Cancer Talk by LHC has been created as a peer support network for those experiencing cancer as a patient, caregiver, and/or survivor.
- Removal from the entire community can be the consequence of a blatant disregard of the expectations, traditions, and/or guidelines. Removal of disrespectful posts and the poster – with no notice – can be a consequence.

Our focus is to provide support for those affected by the diseases of each specific community; mutual support for others is our common bond. Please keep your focus on what we have in common.

We ask that you keep the specifics of your own religion and politics to yourself, in respect for the very diverse community that gathers here. Refrain from using terminology that suggests religiosity of any type; eg, “prayers offered” on behalf of others and/or “thanking God” for a good outcome, etc.
