Welcome to a new family, it's large, a lot of new brothers and sisters who share the common element of oral cancer with you.
While I don't know much about soft palate cancer and the issues that go with it, I'm sure there are several here who do. They just haven't been online since you joined, so be patient they will eventually speak.
In the meantime, if you get a little down (and a lot of people do) the family can help with that too. There's lots written here about how to get through this thing one day at a time and if necessary one hour at a time. So, lean on us if the need arises. We've been there before. We know what it's like.
take care, stay strong.
Put on your mask, it's gonna be a gunfight.
