Welcome to the Oral Cancer Foundation Jenn!!

It is the most informative site about oral cancer on the web. Glad you found us but sorry you had to.
Depression is common during and after treatment. Ask your doctor for a script for that. It takes awhile to kick in.
Take the advice of the above posters and go to a Comprehensive Cancer center that sees alot of head and neck cancer. A local cancer center may not have all the tools needed to beat this diaease.
You also want to throw everthing at this the first time. It is a most unforgiving diaease!

Use the search engine at the top of the page to learn all you can about treatment, side effects
etc. The more knowledge you have the better questions you will know to ask your doctors.

Write your questions down ahead of time as we never remember to ask all of them during the doctor visit. If possible take someome with you, it's hard to remember all they tell you when your in a state
of shock.
You can always come here and post any question you can think of. someone with similier treatment will usually respond.

I wish you the best as you start one hell of a journey. Many of us have traveled it and survived and you can to!!

All My Best, Danny Boy
