Hi, I am Becky from Oklahoma. I am new to the forum and new to the subject of oral cancer. I just discovered the news this week. I went to the doctor for a painful mouth sore that had been continuing to spread over the past two months. I never dreamed of it being cancer, I could kick myself for not going to the doctor sooner. But, at least the catscan and neck xray show that it hasn't spread past my mouth or glands.
I put my description of my diagnosis below as others suggested but I'm not sure if it is exactly correct - just going by memory. I am at Stage 2 at this time.
I am very scared,but I have a positive attitude. Fortunately,I have a very supportive family and many people praying for me.
The fear of the unknown is the worst I suppose.
God Bless Everyone, I am looking forward to chatting with you and reading more of your posts.
