Hello Barb,

Welcome to the club nobody wants to join!!! Glad you found us though. You won't find a more informative website on oral cancer than here.

Did they stage your cancer? Also did they tell you what type of radiation you will receive?
The more knowledge you have the better. You can research some older postings using the search engine at the top of the page.
Write down ahead of time any questions you have for your doctors, we tend to forget some during the appointment. Better if you can take someone with you. Hoping your biospy comes back clean.
Your now part of one big international cyber family. It's a pretty tight group of people all going through roughly the same thing, oral cancer. Post any questions you have, someone with similer treatments will respond. Who better to ask than one who has traveled the path ahead of you?

All my Best, Danny Boy
