Good job Ingrid!!! Now everyone will be able to give you a proper welcome! Hope you are navigating the website without too much difficulty. There is so much info available here on the forum plus there are also many interesting articles and news stories on the main pages. You are definitely in the right place for comprehensive info on oral cancer. Sorry you have had teeth removed. Its so much better having them taken out now than later. Do the best you can with eating before your treatments start.

Best of luck with everything!
