while your cancer is not one of the more common forms of OC i am sure that you will get help and support through the difficult journey you are about to embark upon.
Routine advice will be to make sure you get plenty of nutrition before radiotherapy starts,as eating may become difficult through your treatment.The surgery while unpleasant will probably be the easier part of things,keep hydrated and try to keep moving your mouth and lips as much as you can.Read all the information you can about how to look after your skin and pain relief and don't let things get to uncomfortable before you ask for some help.
whereabouts in the UK are you and where are you getting treated?
good luck
