Dear Ms. Danner,
Many thanks for your most generous donation to the OFC. It is the most comprehensive site on the internet in regards to oral cancer. I am a 42 year old mother of two, and am 6 months out from my treatment. I believe that my diagnosis was delayed by three years because my doctors did not have the awareness they should have about this disease. As a young, fit, healthy woman, I slipped through the cracks despite being under several doctors care at the beginning of my illness. I did not fit the 'profile' of an oral cancer patient. It is my hope that your genorosity can help bring more attention to this devastating disease, thereby assuring others of earlier diagnosis. As other members have said, the information found on this forum is priceless and hugely appreciated. Gratefully yours, Teresa
