Oral Cancer?

I just found out my mother has Oral Cancer and that she has to have surgery soon. I really dont know anything about Oral Cancer, can someone please help me get some information ? I am really concerned about her and scared and I dont know anything at all about this type of cancer. Do you know/have known about someone with it? any info would be great.

Many but not all oral cancers are caused by tobacco use. Here are some good web pages giving info on oral cancer.

Here is a link to the ACOR oral cancer mailing list. They currently have 172 members who either have oral cancer or are caregivers. Their Archives and discussions would be invaluable for learning all there is to know from people going through the exact same illness, treatments, and side effects.

good luck to you both
