Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,140 Likes: 1 | Eli, check this out! First go here: http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/news1.htm and scroll down to the article on Photodynamic Therapy. Then search the Internet for information about Foscan. I did this some while back, thinking it will be a good thing to know if I have a reoccurrence. Maybe this could be the answer for your sister. I have my fingers crossed. Joanna | | |
