Please read this Medical Disclaimer carefully. It is incorporated into Ribbn’s Terms of Useand applies to all users of the Ribbn mobile application (“App”).
Ribbn is a peer support and community platform. We are not a medical organization, and we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or clinical services of any kind. Nothing in the App, including content posted by other users, should be construed as medical advice.
Ribbn connects cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers with others who share similar experiences. These are peer relationships, not professional ones. Other users on Ribbn are not your doctors, nurses, therapists, or licensed healthcare providers, even if they happen to hold those credentials in their personal lives. Any information shared between users is personal in nature and does not constitute professional medical or psychological guidance.
All medical decisions should be made in consultation with your qualified healthcare providers. This includes decisions about treatments, medications, clinical trials, diet, exercise, and any other aspect of your care. Do not delay seeking professional medical advice because of something you read or heard in Ribbn.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately.
Ribbn does not review, verify, or endorse the accuracy of content posted by users. Health information shared by community members reflects their personal experiences and perspectives only. Individual cancer experiences vary widely, and what worked for one person may not be appropriate or safe for another.
A cancer diagnosis and the caregiving experience can be emotionally and psychologically challenging. While peer support can be meaningful, it is not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you are struggling with your mental health, we encourage you to reach out to a licensed mental health professional.
If you are in crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
Ribbn, its team members, and its partner organizations are not liable for any harm arising from reliance on information shared through the App. Your use of Ribbn is at your own discretion, and you assume full responsibility for how you act on any information you encounter here.
