Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,844 | The University of Washington in Seattle is conducting a small study and is needing 75 survivors (not currently in treatment) to participate in this free study. I am posting this on these forums first in the hopes that our Western Washington Cancer Survivors get a chance to participate.
If you would like details on this please PM me, the sooner the better. This goes for "any" type of cancer survivor by the way so if you have family in the Seattle area who's survived cancer and wants to participate get them in contact with me.

Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,844 | They've been getting good response! I'm hoping we fill their study for them as I'd love to say OCF did that and further our relationship with the University of Washington.
JenSLP and myself lectured there in May to their Speech, Language and Hearing graduate students, a lecture that was nominated and approved for the Washington Speech, Language, and Hearing Association's state convention in Tacoma next month. I'm currently building relationships in the UW School of Oral Medicine and the UW Medical Centers Otolaryngology Dept in the hopes of working on a few grant programs. It's all very exciting really and doing the Wellness Program this favor helps us build that relationship while being very beneficial to our survivorship base.
