Joyce, thanks for writing. I am so happy to see that you are doing so well after a stage 4 and aggressive follow-up.
I am well on my way toward recovery with 2,5 weeks under my belt I am eating almost normally, however slowly and speaking as I did before. It amazes me how much tongue has grown back already.
I have been back to my office, but not treating patients yet and we have been aggresively discussing updating out oral screening procedures. We will be setting up a trainig session soon with another forum member who does in office presentations. I intend to include my entire staff of 24 in the process and not just the docs and the hygienists. It is so important to me to get everyone motivated along the lines of early detection.
Thnaks for being a member of this group.
Jerry
