My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had oral cancer twice, without any known cause (no tobacco/drinking or HPV). Unfortunately, I won't be the only one you hear about getting oral cancer in the future. I also know that without the help of The Oral Cancer Foundation, I would have felt completely lost and alone when I was diagnosed. It has been through OCF that I have found great support and friendships that will last a lifetime. Sadly, some of those "lifetimes" have been cut tragically short, in an unfair and brutal manner.

The Oral Cancer Foundation and its community has some of the greatest people that donate their time, love, and compassion for the help of others currently fighting, surviving, or trying to make their way in this world without their loved one. They are the "go to" source for a plethora of accurate, medically-vetted information that will help cancer victims, their friends/families, and caregivers.

Their website helps you to understand the different types of oral/head/neck cancers, treatment protocols, things to expect, tips on dealing with all aspects of the disease, and how to navigate through your life since it has been turned upside down by a diagnosis of oral/oropharyngeal cancer. I would STRONGLY suggest getting on the patient support forums, where you will find old-timers, regulars, and newcomers who are ready and willing to welcome you with open arms. There is no better support forum, in my opinion.

The Oral Cancer Foundation certainly lives up to its mission..."The Oral Cancer Foundation is a national public service, non-profit entity designed to reduce suffering and save lives through prevention, education, research, advocacy, and patient support activities."

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you about OCF!

Sincerely,
Kerri (2 time oral and oropharyngeal cancer survivor, one day at a time)
