Review for The Oral Cancer Foundation, Santa Fe, NM, USA
I recently found the oralcancerfoundation web sight and only wish I had found it a year ago when I was struggling with my 55 year old husband's diagnosis of base of tongue cancer. I did not know of anyone with this type of cancer and have struggled over the past 10 months trying to educate myself about this disease and treatment modalities and the future. It is a very lonely cancer to have. Since finding this patient forum, I feel I finally have a place to go where there are others struggling with this type of cancer and it's devastating impact on quality of life. My questions can be answered by others who have been there. It has been a wonderful resource for followup questions and concerns This is a great organization but it has a huge task ahead of it: to educate the public and health care professionals about the increase in oral cancer, especially in those individuals who do not smoke or drink and whose cancer is probably related to HPV. Thank you, Nancy Mazzapica
