Review for The Oral Cancer Foundation, Santa Fe, NM, USA
When I was diagnosed with Head & Neck Cancer in 2007, it was a devastating, humbling experience. OCF has helped me over the past two years by providing timely information and peer support. I, in turn, have attempted to help others through the ordeal from which I have now emerged. While there are many cancer support organizations online, this one is particularly good at providing current, unbiased information, and the owners/participants are almost universally sensitive and on point in their comments/suggestions. Taken as a whole, this is a wonderfully comprehensive experience for a cancer type that receives little publicity, but is among the most devastating in terms of the short and long term impacts of treatment, and a significant mortality percentage.
