Review for The Oral Cancer Foundation, Santa Fe, NM, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I found the Oral Cancer Foundation to be the most valuable source of information. Information is current and factual. Far more so than traditional patient referred informational sites. Such as cancer.gov, cdc, webmd, medline, ect. Information obtained from The Oral Cancer Foundation allowed a partnership to develop with our treating physcians. Mutual trust developed when the physicians acknowledged and respected our information sources. We were allowed to be part of the decision making process. Knowing the pros and cons of each step and direction of possible treatment is ultimately the responsibility of the patient. We experienced a positive outcome and cancer free now for 4 years.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the continued research of why oral cancer is increasing in numbers while smoking is decreasing.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

be very proud.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

my husband survived and has flourished after being treated for oral cancer.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Professional, informative, nonjudgmental, factual, supportive.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

cut oral cancer deaths by an astounding amount.

Ways to make it better...

I found the Oral Cancer Foundation site on day one of diagnosis and not a second later.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Getting additional PR exposure.

One thing I'd also say is that...

The Oral Cancer Foundation is invaluable.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  General Member of the Public & Researched an enormous amount of information in a efficiant and understandable manner.
