Hi Mick! Welcome to OCF. I have moved your post to where it should be. I have sent you some info to help you find this and learn how to navigate the forum.

You are not alone so that should be a small comfort to you. There are so many here who have walked similar paths. I have lost my lower jaw and have many after effects but I consider myself lucky. Im still here to help others learn from what I went thru. I know its not easy living a new life after battling oral cancer. It can be done and you can have a good life. Its more challenging to some members. Hang around here and we will give you guidance and info to help you get past this low part of your life.

It WILL get easier. You still are the same guy inside, right? Dont let your outside determine who you are. You might think "yeah, right they dont know what I look like". Guess what? I am very disfigured from oral cancer and so is Eric. We both have had to learn how to live our lives again after devastating surgeries. You might think things right now are bad but they will get better.

If you need help on the forum, let me know. To respond to a post just type in the box at the bottom of the thread. To make your own posts (something you really should do when you have something you want answered) click on the topic on the left column. Next click on the "new topic" button towards the top left corner. Type what you want and submit. It really is pretty easy once you do a couple posts.

Hang in there!
