Welcome to OCF, Al! We can help you with info and support to get you thru whatever paths you will be taking to eliminate the cancer. As you read thru posts, just remember everyone is different and can have vastly different experiences with treatment, recovery, etc. By reading and learning about your illness, it makes you a strong advocate for yourself. Knowledge is power! smile Theres also the main OCF stie with page after page of info too. Click on OCF website on the bottom left of any page to go to the main OCF site. We also have a newsfeed that sends emails with all the current news about OC, treatments, studies, OCF, etc. That should automatically pop up when you first go to the main OCF site.
