Brian,
It is because of your dedication and the depth of your caring about people suffering from cancer, that you take to heart every serious word that is written on this board. I so appreciate what you have done for me and all of the other people who come to this board looking for answers to our life threatening problems. I am contiunally impressed by the breadth of your knowledge and the time that you spend to communicate what you know to others.
I hope, therefore , that you are able to withstand a few slings and arrows from the well meaning religious and alternative medicine zealots that are inevitably drawn in to a debate about surviving cancer. My own dear older brother believes in all kinds of forms of alternative medicines and used to constantly refer me to web-sites, usually the typical kind with an 800 number , glowing recommendations and an expensive product that some quack is selling. I mostly ignore them. Then every now and then he will make a health food suggestion that I think is legitimate.
Anyway, my point is this: hang in there Brian. You are our leader and this community needs your input and the benefit of your knowledge and experience with oral cancer. Please don't let a few zealots silence your very necessary voice.

Thank you,
Danny G.
