The purpose of Shared Experience is to be a gathering place and nexus for those touched by cancer, so that they may find one another and share their experiences. The information collected here, including email addresses, will never be sold or distributed in any manner to anyone. It is an open resource without ulterior commercial motive or design.

This site is designed as a web seed that grows itself through the contributions of cancer patients and caregivers and is for support and educational purposes only, and should not be used in any other manner.

The information found here is certainly not intended to substitute for informed medical advice. It is a collection of personal experiences such as you might hear if you sat in a doctor's waiting room where all the patients decided to discuss their condition with one another. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat a health problem or disease without consulting with a qualified health care provider. A consultation with your health care professional is the proper method to address your health concerns.

You are encouraged to consult your health care provider with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your condition. Rapid advances in medicine may cause information contained here to become outdated, invalid and/or subject to debate. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
