1. I know I was searching for everything I could find on oral cancer when I was diagnosed. Probably google.
2. Multiple times at first, and especially anytime I had another scare, which seemed to come often in the first 2-3 years. Now that I am 5years out - infrequent checks (maybe once a month) to see how folks are doing, etc.
3. No other support group... thought about joining one here in Atlanta, but never did.
I couldn't remember when I officially registered, so I had to look back at my posts - and I then remembered that I was a "lurker" on the site for @4 months before I finally got up the nerve to register and post something. Not sure why, except I had never been one to join internet forums at the time, but I would strongly urge anyone new who is also lurking to "just do it" and become a member of this community! It's a wealth of information and the forum is such a wonderful place to communicate all your fears, questions, and support to everyone else facing the same kinds of issues.
