Thank you Christine! You are always so quick to respond with empathy and helpful information! I will PM Brian to see if he knows of any articles that might be helpful. Trying to google topics related to oral cancer aways result in viewing such disturbing images that I prefer getting the straight scientific information! Thank again!
