There are many support groups and some are having special activities. Check out some of the groups you may find something helpful in one of them.

Support for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer (SPOHNC) pronounced "Spunk" is a nonprofit organization involved in the development of programs of
support. As such it can have an enormous positive impact on meeting the
psychosocial needs of patients as well as preserving, restoring, and
promoting physical and emotional health.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and we were joined by the professionals at USA Health to discuss more on this topic.

Oral
cancer starts in the mouth and oropharyngeal cancer is confined to the
base of the tongue, soft palate, tonsils, and back of the throat. The
American Cancer Society estimates that 54,540 people will get oral
cavity or oropharyngeal cancer this year, and 11,580 people will die of
these cancers.
