Ditto what Ambra said. You are now a member of new family, one that actually knows what's going through your head as we've all been there too.
For people newly diagnosed with oral cancer the unknown is perhaps the scariest thing of all. In the beginning you know nothing about OC, so your imagination takes over and runs wild and in many cases creates a lot of fear.
This is the place to overcome the unknown and the fear; I expect the answer to just about any question you can dream up can be found here.
So get started reading all the literature and post to the forum your questions, feelings and fears. You will get plenty of support.
Welcome to the family.
Tony
P.S. Read my signature line, my diagnosis is very close to yours.
