Hi Mandy -
You HAVE come to the right place for comfort, experience you can count on, and people who have walked the same hellish road you are on and are here to talk about it. I have all confidence that Hayley will "kick butt" with this cancer - she is young, has the right attitude, and the advances in cancer treatment are all in her corner! Plus you will find the best support team anywhere with the people in the Oral Cancer Foundation forum. As she continues in whatever treatment plan the doctors choose, please keep us informed and ask! ask! ask! questions. You will get answers. Best to you and to Hayley! Warmly, JaneP : )
