Sean --

Look for posts by Stoj, who is active duty Air Force and was treated in the military health-care system. Bob Whyte is a 21-year Army veteran (that's what he said in his first posting, though his OCF signature ends with "Semper Fi" -- the Marine Corps motto), though I don't think he was on active duty when he was diagnosed.

You can send any OCF member an e-mail or a private message by going to User List at the top of each page and clicking on his or her profile, where you'll find both an e-mail address (if the person chose to include it) and a link to send a private message through the OCF site. You can also find all of his or her posts.

I wish you all the best. It sounds like you have a great support system, both personally and professionally.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
