The "why me" syndrome is normal. We have all been through it.
Although it seems unlikely to you at this time, you will find that this wondering will go away and I predict that you will become a strong advocate for early detection and public awareness of oral cancer.
OCF is in the process of getting groups of survivors together in different areas of the world for this purpose and if you stick around here, you will see future postings about this. We could use your help.
