Ive been assisting Dr. Donovan for several months with the survey. She said it will be published in peer-reviewed academic medical journal which is very exciting! The results will also be made available to OCF and its members.

Way to go with stepping up, everyone! Lets make our voices heard!!!! Both patients and their caregivers too. Even if the patient is not part of the forum I hope they will help future oral cancer patients by giving their input.

Thanks everyone!!!!! smile
