Spread the word out to churches and your friends. It won't take long and you will be working with people one on one - be prepared to come up to speed on other forms of cancer as well.
If you are up to it, you may want to be involved organizing a mass OC screening in your area, partnering with us. Contact me privately for more details. I am also looking for volunteers in Northern California, Oregon and Washington.
