Hello everyone. I haven't posted much lately. Mostly because life has been crazy for me. I lost my job and have been working hard to find a new one. The hard work has paid off, I was offered a job this week. As much as I was enjoying my unplanned "vacation", it makes me worry a bit less knowing that soon, I'll have a paycheck coming in. I'll be working for the Minnesota Department of Health in the HIV/STD division.

I am working on raising some money for OCF, because it is such an awesome place. And I am doing my best to get the word out about oral cancer.

My local newspaper is featuring oral cancer in this weeks edition. They tell my story, but I think she did a great job of telling about oral cancer.

As for my health, everything is so far, so good. I have had a swollen lymph node for weeks, but the doc wasn't concerned. I finally left it alone and amazingly, it has now disappeared.

God bless you all,

Amy
