Mouth cancer

I was diagnosed with mouth cancer in December.  Massive op in Jan.  Jaw removed, part of tongue, base of mouth, lymph glands on that side. Everything cut out with clear margins.

3 weeks in hospital.  I was recovering really well and getting ready for chemo and radiotherapy to mop anything else up.

The scan For the radiotherapy has picked up a bit of new cancer in my mouth and possibly something in my lung. I was feeling great now I'm scared. Getting married soon and worried for my partner too. 

I'm hoping the oncologist can come up with some treatment plan to give me some years.

Any advice welcome please.
