My journey started with my dentist noticing a spot under my tongue and progressed from there. I've always wondered how things might be different now had the dentist not caught it or sent me to have it checked.

You are definitely on the front lines in a unique way. Have you been able to track how many of those referrals have been positively diagnosed as cancer?

thanks,
Steve
