I am willing to take brochures to doc's offices in our town and to the cancer centre in the city and docs' offices at a large clinic in the city. I am wondering if you could put me onto a supplier of brochures or if I could get some from you?
I do not know how your system works but this is something I did for bowel disease for years then for mental health issues. Now that I have cancer I feel this strong pull to do what I can, it is horrifying as you well know.
Thankyou,
Meggie

Please contact Megan at the OCF office and she will get you literature or anything else that you need. If you'd like to hook up with Susan who handles all of the OCF screening sites and events (something we'd love to expand into Canada) Megan can give you her contact as well. As for me, I'm on the road a lot, and Megan can also get you numbers to call me at if you'd like to talk about how we are trying to reach out to the dental and ENT communities to do more early detection work, and last but not least.... Jamie in our office is our treatment center coordinator, trying to hook as many of them and their patients to the great help that all the posters here provide. http://oralcancerfoundation.org/about/contact.htm
