Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,912 Likes: 53 | Edd....I am afraid that people will not find you if you add your introduction to the board at the end of someone else's thread. I'd like you to post again (starting a new topic) on the introduce yourself board and tells us more..... and how we can help you. Clearly you have something good going for you, a strong sense of humor. I and all of the OCF board posters wish you and your wife a quick and successful journey through treatments and a rapid return to a healthy and normal life.

Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 56 | Yes I'm seeing what Marica means....how about those family squabbles???????.....I see them more and more. Don't you think that would "put newcomers off" a bit? I know that I don't post often b/c of this....just do my research and ask quick questions.....but I think that is the best thing about the forum anyway! So thanks to all those that continue to help me and my wonderful husband!

Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 4 | I also am a new member, but not a new cancer patient. I was diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma 8 years ago and just recently found this site. Unfortunately, I still have lots of questions and few answers. Even the information page for mucoepidermoid carcinoma has been down since I discovered this site.
I just started surfing the chat boards to try this way to find out more about this cancer. If I find nothing else out...maybe the fact that I am a survivor after 8 years will be an encourager to you, Mellay.
