Oral cancer can take months to recover from the damage it causes, and for many the permanent damage is life changing. It has been for me. I would suggest you speak to your GP for some assistance, which might include a referral to a therapist.
With such lovely weather in WA, taking a walk or sitting outside with a magazine would be a simple way to lift your spirits. It's a good place to start to physically and emotionally build yourself up.
