Im so glad he had reached out to you. It was thru him that I saw your post on his wall. Ross found OCF a while ago and quickly made several friends with his great sense of humor. Because of Ross, you will now have many new friends to turn to when you are low. Of course we are not medical professionals but we know a whole lot about oral cancer and what it can do to not just your body but also your mind. Of course no one could ever take the place of your friend Ross but, we still will be able to give you some comfort with compassion. I would still recommend seeking out a professional when you have recovered. They can help you in ways we arent able to.
