It is rather amazing to me how little media coverage I can find about Oral Mucositis, a painful side effect of radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer.

Oral Mucositis impacts more than 400,000 cancer patients annually -- killing some of them and making tens of thousands of others suffer -- and yet the mainstream news media largely ignore it. 

Worst of all, new treatments are available or will be very soon, that have shown great promise in reducing or even eliminating the symptoms of Oral Mucositis. 

Until the news media get plugged into this important health news story, I am hoping to keep the oral mucositis community abreast of important news and related resources at a new site, Oral Mucositis Newswire.

I hope no one ever has to visit that site.  But if you, a member of your family, a friend or a colleague does require radiation or chemotherapy, I encourage you to familiarize yourself with Oral Mucositis Newswire (www.oralmucositisnewswire.com).  There is no need for cancer victims to suffer additionally.
