JT2 - were you seen at the BC Cancer Agency? I am curious since OCF is adding a new science advisory board member this month, the first from outsdie the US, Dr. Miriam Rosen from there. She has been at the forefront of research on tissue flouresence (the loss of whch is an indicator of potentially compromised cells) and has begun to set up a really brilliant idea, a group of dysplasia clinics in BC to follow people with precancers to ensure that they are not lost in the dental or medical world, and they end up in treatments at the earliest moment in time. We are very lucky to have someone of her caliber associated with OCF.

Your observations about people who come from the cancer experience are spot on. I never cease to be amazed at the caring efforts of the people that come back to these boards to help others behind them. Welcome to the family.
