Welcome Stacey! I know you will find this site filled with people who are very knowledgeable about oral cancer and willing to share their experiences with you. Everyone is super nice and very compassionate. Before this I had never participated in any social media platform, not even Facebook, and was very nervous. All I have experienced here is a lot of good advice and moral support.

This is a very tough disease and the emotional toll for both the patient and the caregiver is almost beyond description. But as Christine said, "we are all in this together." Strength in numbers.

Looking forward to hearing from you and hoping your husband continues in his recovery 🌝
