Even though this is not the actual TDM thread, the same rules apply here. So be sure to follow them please. And as a reminder they are listed below:

Quote:
⇨Follow Gaia's ToS

⇨Do not quote any large blocks of text, such as any of the posts on the front page of the main thread or a team's thread.

⇨Please read the FAQs before asking a question. That way we can be sure we have plenty of time to answer any unusual or specific questions instead of answering the same common ones over and over.

⇨Contacting Crew: We are likely to be very busy around this time. Not only do we have to organize many things here at once, virtually all of TDM's staff is in college or high school. For us, April not only means TDM, it means term papers and exams. Questions and Yellow Wall entries will have priority over any art or banners you send, or Affiliate/Turn TDM requests. Please be patient with us.

⇨Be supportive of one another! Try to get along.

⇨And most importantly, strive for positivity. We encourage you to share your stories and feelings concerning cancer, cancer awareness, and the like, but this will not be a pity-party. Many people may be going through cancer themselves or seeing someone they love dealing with it. We’re here to hope for the best. heart


In addition to those rules, here are a few more that apply directly to our team thread:

✸Please attempt to type normally. (aka no txt talk please! Spelling errors are understandable. I make them myself all the time and I'm a college graduate. ^^;; )

✸Please don't spam or advertise in the thread (unless it is part of your post code). If you'd like your art shop, charity, etc. to become an affiliate of the team, simply pm me and I will be happy to add an affiliate section to our team thread.

✸Keep bumping to a minimum. If you're the only one around and our team thread is at the bottom, feel free to bump it up but don't obsessively do it. It will not be rewarded.

✸Please don't beg for gold. Instead enter one or several of the team or event contests. ^^ They all ask reasonably simple things of you, and you have a chance to win gold or an awesome prize plus, you won't annoy anyone.

✸Be awesome. ><

Please note that the rules are subject to change if issues arise.

Kidney cancer is sometimes called by its medical name, renal cell carcinoma. Renal is from the Latin word renalis for kidneys. Kidney cancer includes various forms, including clear cell, papillary, sarcomatoid, transitional cell, and others.

Last year, more than 1.3 million new cancers were diagnosed in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 50,000 of these individuals were diagnosed with kidney cancer. But there is hope: More than 200,000 kidney cancer survivors are living in the United States right now. Recent advances in diagnosis, surgical procedures, and treatment options will allow even more patients to live with the disease, continuing to maintain their normal schedules and lifestyles.

Additional Information on Kidney Cancer can be found at the following websites. Of course it is recommended that you talk to you doctor about any serious health concerns you may have.

About Your Captain
For those of you who are unfamiliar with me, my name is Mrs_S_Snape (Mrs. S, Snape or Snapey for short). I have been actively involved with The Daffodil Movement for a number of years now. I first got involved because of my aunt developed and lost the battle to colon cancer.

Team Updates
I will try to keep updates posts as soon as possible posted up at the top of this thread in the welcome post. The last few months have been crazy for me between my internship, my part time job and school course load, so if I disappear for a day or so that's why. ^^;;

Team Spirit
Normally, I like to post a variety of items as examples of items that could be wore for team spirit. However, the best way to show support and spirit is by wearing a daffodil bouquet. There are many ways to obtain one. You can make them in the exchange via Buttercup Cafe, or buy one off the marketplace or to save on gold you can request one for FREE from either myself or The Daffodil Movement mule. More info on that can be found in the main thread's FAQs post which can found here.
