Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | I�ve also had occasion to visit other forums, specifically re robotic hysterectomy surgery. It did not have the ease of navigation that OCF has and was so overrun with ads, that I soon became discouraged and did my own research, checking with my two doctors about their research and qualifications before making a decision.
In the 8 years since I joined OCF, I�ve learned that I can always depend on the very latest news and scientific research. If anything �new� appears from other sources, chances are that OCF has found it and already commented on it. When I came to OCF, I found accurate information and support from people who cared about my son and his oral cancer. I, too and proud of OCF and all the people (visible and behind the scenes) who make it what it is, and for all the reasons stated in the two posts above by Brian and Christine. If that makes me �biased� � maybe so, but I like to think of it as being well informed and educated.
