A quick update. The survey is still going on. PLEASE take a couple minutes to complete the survey. Share it with your caregiver or if you are the caregiver, have the patient also complete it. This survey has the potential to help change how oral cancer patients are treated and what additional services will automatically be offered to them.

Right now about 100 oral cancer patients and their caregivers have taken the survey. Moffitt is looking to have a minimum of 150 responses from patients and also 150 from caregivers. Please pass it along to any other oral cancer patient or caregiver you know.



Thanks!!!
