Sorry to hear you are having a recurrence. The odds decrease the longer you are out from treatment. You can do this! Its a long road but it can be done! Ive had oral cancer 3x within 3 years. I am now 2.5 years post treatment from my last round of OC. Eat as much as possible and keep taking in a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz water every single day and it will be easier.
