Welcome Gina

I understand much of what you are feeling. I seem to have different priorities in life since I had cancer and although I had lots of support from my family and friends during treatment, I can't talk to them about recurrence fears etc. Somehow they think I am being 'negative'. You can freely express yourself here without seeming whiny - that is why we are all here.

This oral cancer family extends around the world but we seem to live with similar limitations - dry mouth, taste issues and our new best friends the water bottles.

Congratulations on your first cancer-free year. So glad you have joined us as you will be able to offer support and help to those still in treatment.

Love and best wishes for continuing good health from Helen
