Thanks everyone!!!!

Marlene, I bet that was a surprise when it came on. I went to the movies on Sat and the commercial came on. I nearly jumped out of my seat!

In the videos, I mentioned OCF at least 20 times. Unfortunately that was cut from my videos. I tried to get the website in the video too but they made me turn my computer. If you look closely you can tell I have OCF pulled up.

I told the other 'actors' about OCF but so far not one has joined frown. I think they could help alot of people who have to deal with living with a trach. Three people there had trachs and have 3 different types. Two of them are long term survivors with having 12 and 13 years of being cancer free. The youngest actor is a 16 year OC survivor, he was only 17 years old when he got sick. I was thrilled to meet him, he looks like me! Its amazing how we all bonded together instantly cuz of all being OC survivors. The man with oxygen lives with COPD, he isnt a OC survivor but deals with alot of struggles daily. His name is George and I only met him the day of the filming so I barely know anything about him.

The commercial will be playing in rated R and PG13 movies in select theaters thru June 30th. Thanks everyone for their support, it means so much to me!!!! grin

Christine, I just watched the commercial and the tapings of you going through various parts of your life living with oral cancer and all you've been through. It brought tears to my eyes not only for you but for my mother and all she went through as well. You are right, with all the bad comes the good of helping others. You are such a strong person and a true inspiration to others to be of help to those in need whenever and however they can. Thank you so much for all you do for everyone here and for doing the commercial. I wish everyone in the world could see it. Take care of your very special self.

Nancy
