I really wish with all my heart that our dentist would have done these exams so that my husband's oral cancer could have been found earlier. I do believe that his dentist feels guilty, she apologized many times. I also think that his doctor should have realized when he had ear pain and a hard node on the left side of his neck for 6 months that something else was going on. So I will be sure to insist that I have those thorough screenings and do my own self exams at home. Thank you.
