Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,219 | Just bringing this thread back up to the top.
I want to thank everyone that has sent me a check so far. For those that haven't, the address is above in this thread and it's not too late to help support the OCF financially.
Brian needs YOUR help and if you want this website to keep going, now is the time to give. It doesn't have to be a lot. Every little bit helps. If every member gave just $10, think about how much money could be raised. Think about how much you and your loved ones receive from the OCF in the form of support, information and just having a place to vent. Money is also needed to help keep Brian traveling and fighting for funding for oral cancer research, recognition of the needs of oral cancer survivors and the need for Early Detection.
I hate to seem like a broken record, but it takes a great deal of money to keep this website and Brian running. How lost would you feel, if it wasn't here? I know I would be devastated.

Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 32 | I'm new to this site. My husband was treated for SCC 2 yrs. ago. Had chemo, radiation (6 wks.) & surgery. So far so good. He goes for scans every 3 months but now it will be every 6 months. Unfortunately, he was just diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma (4mm) as he was having hearing problems. We are thankful that it was found while it is still small and we have time to consider options.
I am reading about the walk in Chicago and wonder when and where it will be held. We are from Schaumbug, IL.
Thanks for all the info here.

Sorry to hear about Ken's new problem. I wish him and you as much success as you have had with the scc.
The June walk in Chicago has been postponed until September. It is not definite yet, but it was not going to work out for June. Keep checking back to see what is happening.
Carol, I sent you an email with my address and thanks for sponsoring me again this year.

You can make a donation there vs the regular donation section and it will be earmarked as NYU. (It is a bit less flexible than the regular donation section which works in increments of 5 dollars.) Then as Mike said put in the comments block Jerry's name.
