Review for The Oral Cancer Foundation, Santa Fe, NM, USA
I joined the OCF Survivor Forum in November of 2002, well before my treatment started, and the members of the forum there, and also information on the main site, helped me in ways that are unmeasurable. I have made many friends in all areas of the world and stay in touch with many of them to this day. Back in November of 2002 there really weren't any other oral cancer sites like OCF and there still isn't today. I have been honored to give back on the forum, what was so freely given to me. It has been a life altering experience for sure. I am certain that advice that I received there has helped me to survive the horrors of cancer treatment and it's aftermath. I have 6 years of being cancer free today and OCF was a major part of that. Conversely, it saddens me that I have lost so many friends to this horrific disease.
