A little over four years ago my best friend was diagnosed with Stage III tonsil cancer. Our lives went into a complete upheaval. The things that used to be important

Jack --

Your post was so eloquent that I went back and read everything you had written here.

For anyone who is new to OCF (and even for those who've been around for a while), this post of yours from August 2003 is a terrific "lessons learned" for both patients and caregivers.

All the best,
Leslie
