My Nonprofit Reviews

I amassed a lot of knowledge as a caregiver from this forum. I like the fact that I am able to interact with forum members not only in North America, but in Australia, the U.K. and India. IIts reach is worldwide. The members are sympathetic, empathetic and do their best to support each other . Over the years, thousands have been helped.

Over the years OCF has stayed at the head of the pack with new information and a most helpful forum. I have gained a lot of knowledge about head and neck cancers and have made a number of friends. It's so nice to know that many others care when I am in a time of need.

Two years ago when my husband was diagnosed with base of tongue cancer, I was able to get all of the information I needed from the OCF website. I was able to ask doctors pertinent questions and raise questions about issues that the doctors had not thought to inform me about. Time and time again, the treating oncologists congratulated my husband on having a wife who kept on the "straight and narrow," -- something I could only do with the knowledge I got from OCF. My husband's cancer has since metastasized, it has been extremely helpful to me to know that I only have to reach out and the support is there for me on OCF.

My husband was recently diagnosed with base of tongue cancer. While his doctors and nurses have been extremely kind, there's no way they can spend the kind of time answering all my questions about the illness, treatment options and care-giving tips. I was lucky to find the Oral Cancer Foundation website where I can read about the experiences that others who have been through a similar experience and to learn from their insights. Coping with cancer is hard, but it is good to know that I am supported by a circle of friends who understand and care on the Oral Cancer Foundation website.
