It was not until about the 2nd week of my son's Rad Tx that I found OCF. When I went to OCF's site I found not only the best information available, but also the invaluable support and compassion to go along with the information. it is definitely the latter that made it possible for me to accept and digest the information I received and give my son the the support he needed. The two - info + support must go together IMO.
