Yes this cancer is very brutal. I have been crying my eyes out everyday and night since my moms passing. Its been such a battle for my poor mother and having her go the way she did really has me so upset.

When Caintbeleive posted for advice I was hesitant to respond. But I felt I just had to post what had happened. At least it may prepare others in the same situation . Some readers may feel I shouldn't have post what happened to my mom and if so I am very sorry if I offended anyone.

Please everyone Please be strong and keep your battle going. This was my mothers case and does not happen to the majority of Oral Cancer Patients. You can be a survivor.
