Lynne, on your profile it said you are a health walk organizer. Wondering about the difference between our countries. When you are feeling a little better I want to ask you some questions if its ok with you.

Garrett, you may be new but you are a survivor. After going thru everything you have, you have lots of knowledge that can be helpful to many people. Dont hesitate to share your experiences with others, everyone's opinions are useful here. Glad to have you aboard! Maybe next year you can attend the Philadelphia Oral Cancer Awareness Walk. There is a big group of us from this general area from Philadelphia to NY. We get together at the walks and swap stories. Its a wonderful bonding experience.
