Stef, you sound like you are managing this very well. Do NOT ever be embarrassed about posting. If you are unsure ask your self... does my post have anything to do with oral cancer, treatments, recovery, etc. If its related to OC then ask away smile We're all in this together, we understand what you are going thru. We have had quite a few members over the years who have had this type of surgery. All have posted highly positive marks about how much better it was than conventional methods.

Wishing you all the best with your procedure next week!!! Please dont forget to post updates for us when you are able to.

Best wishes!!!!!
