As I told someone else on these boards a few months back -- rather than feel "guilty" about your circumstances, approach it from this perspective: "Early detection saves lives. I'm living proof!"

I know what a relief this is for you.

All the best --

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
