Welcome to the forum, though i’m Sorry that you have to join our circles of friends.

Oral cancer is a scary diagnosis, well, any form of cancer is scary. Many on this forum have gone through treatment and come out on the other side. I would suggest that you read the information about oral cancer on the main Oral Cancer Foundation website so that you’ll know what your doctors are talking about and what they are proposing for treatment.

After surgery and if you need radiation, it will be a while before you can eat your favorite foods. So, it’s not a bad idea to go and eat as much as you like at this point. Don’t worry about putting on weight because you will lose weight and it’s important that you have the strength and stamina to deal with the treatment.

Please come back and post if you have any questions as you embark on your journey. We are a group of patients and caregivers and we would be happy to share our experience with you.

Wishing your all the best!
