I'm about to try to send a letter. Bringing this back to the top. Bombard them folks. Here is our chance to bring the importance of early detection to the forefront.

She got lucky, the rest of us know that is not always the case. We need to make the point that you have to follow up on symptoms even if you don't fit the 'profile', tests need to be run to make certain it is not cancer regardless of age.

I think previous post said to send email to [email protected] and include subject My Turn 'My Smile is Worh More than Face Value' Dec 18 as subject line of email.

Let's make some noise guys and get them to do a follow up article on oral cancer and early detection.

Take care,
Eileen
