Paula, welcome to OCF! Its always nice to have another survivor join our forum.

The Oral Cancer Foundation is a very small nonprofit organization which depends on its volunteers and donations to stay running. They invest in things to help oral cancer patients thru studies, research, clinical trials along with running this website. There are also brochures printed that can be given to dental professionals. I always carry some with me to make sure all my doctors have them on hand. If you would like some brochures, call the OCF office at 949 646-8000. They are open PST 9:30-5 M-F
