Hi. I am new to this group. It's been 4 years since my mother has passed away from oral cancer, and it still makes me so sad and hurt. I feel like there was something that could have been done to help her, but I don't know. She was diagnosed with tongue and neck cancer in January, 2008. She went in for surgery, had part of her tongue removed and had some lymph nodes removed from her neck. I got a call on July 1, 2008, only six months after my mom's surgery, saying that my mom was not going to make it. It was the worst day of my life. My mom was 51 when she passed. This cancer took my mom's life so fast. It's still so hard for me to cope.

I'm interested in reading everyone's blogs.
