Wilma:

Welcome to OCF. It sounds like you have already gone thru some rough times with your treatment and have more to go. Its not an easy thing going thru cancer treatments, especially for oral cancer.

Its a good thing you have gone to a cancer center. Im sure it has eased your mind having answers to your questions. Im sorry but I dont know what they mean by the mental area either.

It would be helpful if you could add any info you know pertaining to your type of cancer and your treatment to your signature. It will help others to respond to your posts. There is alot of helpful articles on the main pages of OCF. Feel free to ask any questions you have here, there are alot of people that will try to help you thru this difficult time.
