Welcome to OCF! You have found the best place to get info and support. We will help both you and your husband get thru his treatments and recovery. As a caregiver you dont have an easy job so its understandable how you can get overwhelmed.

After first being diagnosed there are a million things to do before treatment starts. Has your husband gotten his treatment plan yet? If not, has he gotten a second opinion?

I suggest reading and learning about oral cancer to help you become a strong advocate for your husband. There are so many things in the main OCF site that can help. Heres a link to it.

Stick with us and we will help you. Its ok to lean on us, we completely understand as we have been thru this ourselves.


Best wishes!
