I don't really feel like a new member since I have been viewing OCF.since June of 2002.I cannot begin to tell you how much this site has helped me in my fight with oral cancer.I came here scared to death, and got answers to all of my fears.Because I am a private person I did not join until now.I have sucessfully compleated all of my treatment and am a year out now and finally feeling almost normal. Still have peg tube but am weaning myself off of it. I should be getting my dentures in August.I did take Amifostine during radiation and had good results with it.Am also taking Salagen with good results.I never would have been able to have made it without this forum.
