Getting back to normal after Oral Cancer in London SE1
18 / 01 / 2013
There are some problems in your mouth that can be fixed quite quickly, sometimes painlessly and then even so, if they are painful, they only take a few days of discomfort and the problem is solved. Sadly the same can’t be said for oral cancer and it’s a problem that still seems to thrive in London SE1. The causes are never clear with this disease, though if you love a smoke, a drink and have an awful diet, it’s clear that you are not doing yourself any favours and are putting yourself a great risk. Symptoms are hazy too, though any niggling thing that recurs in the mouth all the time are considers to be signs that you may well have an issue: mouth sores, constant sore throats and aching necks are a few of the symptoms that indicate the onset of oral cancer and after you have had some tests and the news is not good, you are going to have to prepare yourself for a battle royal in order to beat it. Once you have had the necessary surgery, the real fight begins. You will need nurses and friends around to help you through this tricky recovery period, as well as turning your lifestyle on its head and throwing away the bad habits. You must build up your immune system after this type of surgery and improve your diet. Your body must become a temple and only by altering the way you once lived can you give yourself a chance of beating the disease: good news is that recovery statistics have got a lot better over the years and played down the stigma once associated with this disease.
