Hi Missy - That was a very good "stumble" you took! This is the best place to be for the best and latest information about Oral Cancer. Do take advantage of the search functions on the main page and this one too. The more information you find, the better you can prepare any questions you have for the doctors or for coming here. It's good if someone can go with you to appointments so they can help you remember what was said later when you talk to each other. Two other people came with me when my son had surgery and that really helped me to hold it together. Lots of people have been where you are and will help you through this. Try to stay busy until surgery day and let us know what's happening.
