Thats really exciting news. You are such a great spokesperson for OC. Its so true that OC patients need alot of help and not just during tx. You know first hand what they go thru and also how hard it is for the caregivers too. Its something all hospitals should have for all cancer patients, hope it catches on elsewhere.
You know how compassionate and knowledgable the memebers here are. As always, the 'regulars' who have already gone thru the battle will extend a helping hand to the new ones. OCF members are always ready to assist someone who is struggling.
Keep us posted on the details.
