Hello, Glenn.

First of all, I hope everything goes well for your mother. She certainly has a tough row to hoe.

I suggest that you explore other parts of this site, which is a rich resource.

http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/site_map.htm

This is the site map and you can go from there.

Let us know how your mother is doing, and do not hestitate to ask any questions. There are peple on this forum who have had the same procedure.
