Glad you found the site and decided to participate.

I've always felt that the effort my wife put forth during both diagnosis and subsequent surgeries / treatments, made my recovery much easier. I don't think I could have handled the situations as well as she has and continues to do.

So, with that said, feel free to ask questions, vent, or just read and gain some additional knowledge about oral cancer.
