Frank,
You are in the right place and I echo others who agree you are not premature in posting. This site, the people who are here and the content will all become very useful to you. I have not had Oral cancer but have fought the fight. I am here because it is the best place for me in my profession to be of use for people who have questions related to Oral Cancer. This site is also one of the only sites regarding OC that is moderated on a regular basis by knowledgeable individuals who will, always with respect, add, correct or on some occasions ban the snake oil supporters.
Brian, in my short time here, has chimed in on many occasions in order to maintain the integrity of the site he founded.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Please keep us posted.
You are not alone!!

Mike
