Roger,
Welcome. Although I have only been on this board a very short time, I have found it extremely beneficial. It sounds like you have only received this diagnosis very recently? I am a caregiver to a oral cancer patient, but just wanted you to know someone was out there. Even though their cancer can be located in different places or at different stages, most of the board members (or their family members) have been diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC here). The location of the tumor may affect treatment options, but most likely it will be a combination or variation of surgery, chemo and radiation. Don't panic! There is tons of helpful advice to be found here as well as emotional support. Everything moves so fast at the beginning, but that just means you are that much closer to recovery. My prayers are with you.

Jamie
