IMO OCF is superior in everyway.
Quick example: the SPOHNC "Cancer Information" section on their web site actually goes to press releases (most recent one is last April and that was about honoring its founder. The most current medical information press release is dated October 1, 2007 almost four years ago.)
Likewise the newsletter archive shows the most recent one to be in 2007. But that could be because only if you pay $25 to join SPOHNC do you get a newsletter subscription.
Brian lets anyone join the OCF forum here without paying a penny plus access every part of OCF web site absolutely free.
(But donations are a very good thing - let's remember that)
Plus OCF's website actually gives information that is fully vetted and reliable-
SPOHNC focus appears to be different - local chapters meetings, no internet forums. Their resources links are quite comprehensive and include obscure sites - but THEY DO NOT MENTION OCF AT ALL NOR DO THEY LINK TO OCF even though they do link to other competing cancer sites like the former Yul Brynner foundation (they still have the old name even though it is now Head and Neck Cancer Alliance)
I'm biased in favor of OCF. However I am sure the actual SPOHNC volunteers are wonderful people. I just wish they would all join OCF and support it instead.
