ROLL CALL 2013---CLOSED AS OF 01/12/2014. New list to be posted

CANCER SURVIVORS. Please enroll or check in for year 2013.

WE SURVIVED! Read about us and for the newbees, hope this forum brightens your day since a great percentage overcame this dreaded disease.

We have 97 folks who registered or checked back in. For those who have not checked in since January 1, 2012, you have been moved to the Missing list. (to be published in a few days)

We started this list a few years ago. It is a voluntary enrollment. H+N patients have had a very high survival rate and the enrollment/reporting would provide incentive and good news on our survival to those checking in for the first time. I am sure that many who failed to report back in are still around.

There may be others who post in this section and unless they enrolled, I have not included their names. We welcome your enrollment. As noted, please include your state, date diagnosed, type of cancer, brief description of your treatment and your status. After you have enrolled, we hope you will check back in at least once a year even if you had left this forum. A brief statement that you are still around and doing okay would suffice.

The date of enrollment will be different from date diagnosed. The enrollment date is when you registered for Roll Call, not when you registered to be in the forum.
