I love happy updates smile

Im very glad you will stick around!!! Ive made many life long friends thru this site. Im sure you will too. OC patients/survivors and their caregivers share a common bond. We're like one huge extended family smile

OCF has oral cancer events all over the country. Our Director of Events, Susan Lauria hosts the Andover NJ event. Sadly, Susan lost her brother to OC after a long hard battle. I always try to attend this event. There are at least 20 survivors who go every year. Maybe you would like to attend too?
