Hello Elocia,

Welcome to The Oral Cancer Foundation!!! Glad you found us but sorry that you had to. I can't add much to what already has been posted. I can tell you the road ahead may be bumpy at times but you can beat this like many of us have. Remember to measure your progress in weeks not days.
Also ask your doctor what type of radiation and chemo drugs they are suggesting and why. The more info you have the better decisions you will make.

All My Best, Danny Boy
