Friends,
Being one of the lucky ones who is doing well after 5 years, I don't visit the forum nearly as often as I used to. I checked by today and am very sad to see that the irrepressible PeteyB is no longer with us. He was always concerned for others and very upbeat. Pete apparently handled everything well, including the journey to the end.
We can all learn from him.

I am also a little amazed that over 4000 people have joined this forum since I did so in the summer of 2002. That is a tribute to all of Brian's hard work in drawing attention to oral cancer and to this site, but, at the same time, a sad commentary on the continuing spread of this terrible disease.

Take care all,
Danny G.
