Description of Codes and Interview Probes

Code	Description	Interview probes
Survivorship communications: Deciding who to tell	Comments describing how participants decide to whom they will or will not disclose that they have been diagnosed with cancer after treatment. This is different than disclosure at the time of diagnosis because the participant often has more choice and control over to who they disclose their cancer history.	(1) How do you decide who you are going to tell and/or not tell about being a survivor? (2) When you meet people for the first time do you tell them you are a survivor? How? What do you say? (3) Do you tell people who you date about your cancer?
Survivorship communications: Disclosure attitudes and experience	A narrative that describes how a participant discloses their cancer story or experience to others. This may include:  (1) Orientation, thoughts, feelings.  (2) How others respond or react.  (3) Various forms of disclosure (e.g., writing essays, Facebook posts).  (4) Explanation that something about themselves or what is important in life was learned from the disclosure process.  (5) Responses to others during disclosure (e.g., reassuring others they are okay).  (6) Avoiding using the word cancer.	(1) Do your friends know that you are a cancer survivor? How do they react when you tell them? How does that make you feel? (2) Do you tell your teachers or your co-workers? How do they act toward you afterwards?
Others' response to disclosure of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and/or survivorship	Others publicly recognize the participant's cancer experience at any point during their cancer experience, diagnosis/treatment, or in the survivorship phase.	(1) Do your teachers treat you differently since learning about your cancer? How? How does it make you feel?
