I truly beiieve if you want to heal and help your body through treatment eating the right foods is key. This will help you get your strength back and hopefully you won't get another dx of cancer. Treatment for any cancer can damage the body - proper nutrients and a balanced diet will help boost your immune system, and cell integrity. I hope your oral surgeon listens to you if not get to a good ENT. And I fully believe we tend to be more critical of ourselves, I'm sure you're beautiful
