I admire you and your article, Dave. You told it like it was/is, and I'm sure that part wasn't edited because you'd have to live it to tell about it like you did. Thank you for getting the message out - saw it on Facebook first, and some of my friends commented on it because they knew I had HAD oral cancer. Notice I said, HAD grin. Pray it stays that way for all of us.
