                        Hi, I'm sorry you are dealing with cancer.  I know oral cancer is curable; but it depends upon the age of the patient and how far along the disease has progressed.    If I were in your shoes, I would learn as much about "cancer" as possible.   Go to book stores or libraries and read, read, read.   And, include alternative medicine; diet, vitamins, etc.   Don't forget that is what the actor, Jack Klugman, had, and he is still out there acting!
