Leslie,

You are already doing two things that are the biggest help to you and your hubby:

You have found this board and.....you are reading, reading, reading. Taking time to read a lot here...not only the boards here but all the information the main site provides gives you a lot of ammunition to fight this battle.

There are a whole host of amazing people on this board and their ability to provide insight into many subjects regarding OC (Oral Cancer) is such a help when you feel so alone. You will receive answers to not only the medical/technical questions but also the emotional issues everyone faces with this disease.

So, keep doing what you are doing..you are helping yourself by reading as much as you can and we will be here when you have questions.

Deb
