Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 234 | Brian, Congratulations, I can't think of a better, more deserving person than you to be recognized for all of your wonderful work. I remember the times we corresponed before the foundation was offically formed and how in the beginning you answered each and every post. This site was my salvation for information about oral cancer and sharing my fears after my surgery. Oh, the times I wished it had been here when I was diagnosed and felt I had no where to turn. This past month during a normal check up my doctor saw a "spot" he didn't like, so he did a biopsy. It took a week to get the results and I found myself returning once again to this website for comfort and hope. The results were negative and to celebrate I purchased the new survior T-Shirt and made a donation to the foundation. Brian, thank you so much for your tireless effort for making people more educated about Oral Cancer and for this website. Bravo my friend.

Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | Congratulations Brian. There's no one more deserving of such recognition. This site has made all the difference in my ability to cope with my diagnosis and treatment as well as get quality care for myself. I can't imagine how much more frightening and lonely an experience I'd be having without having found OCF.
