My mother passed away from oral cancer on January 21, 2011. I was lucky enough to find this website before she passed, but still I was not prepared for how hard and how often the cancer kept coming back. This forum is a fantastic web of heartfelt caring and combined knowledge of so many who have gone through this and it was so very helpful and supportive for me and will be for all who find it. I don't visit here as often as I used to but I still think of the OCF members and still pray for healing, courage and strength for everyone.
