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

Rating: 5 stars  

I recently finished radiation treatments for cancer of the vocal cords. The Oral Cancer Foundation was my most trusted source of information. The forums are wonderful; being able to share experiences is invaluable. This foundation is real 'hands-on' help with everything a patient (& caregiver) may experience during the painful process. I can't thank them enough!

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

the participation in the forums of people everywhere.

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

I'm not sure - try to raise funds to publicize the cancer. Put more tags on the site so searchers can find it right away.

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

I felt it was totally trustworthy.

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

online - extremely helpful, I didn't feel so 'alone.'

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

raise awareness about oral cancer. The cancer with a stigma that isn't publicized.

Ways to make it better...

signing up for forums was kind of difficult. Had password problems, but once fixed was okay.

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

money.

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

I referred the Oral Cancer Foundation to the nutritionist at the hospital where I was receiving treatments, she was thrilled.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Client Served & I gathered and shared information about oral cancer.
