Welcome to OCF! You have found the best place for getting info and support for anything related to oral cancer. Will you be having radiation or any further treatments?

We have several members who are younger survivors anf who have young children. My children were teenagers when I was first diagnosed. It was a teenagers dream, their mother losing her voice for a coupke weeks. LOL! It was temporary and they quickly learned to repond to my frantic arm waving and scribbling on a dry earase board 'NOOOO!!!!'. That was almost 5 years ago and life is much different now.

Best wishes with your continued recovery.
