Ronnie congratulations on your diagnosis. Sometimes in life the glass really is half full...or more. Now take the knowledge that you gained form people here and help them and others. You can turn your fears into something positive. You now know a lot more about oral cancer than you did before all this started. You can share your newfound knowledge with others. Most Americans are not even aware that this disease exists and what are the warning signs and risk factors for getting it. You now do. You can see that those around you, and those you come into contact in the future, know that it is a disease that they should be aware of, get an annual screening for, and try to avoid the risk factors for getting it -- like the use of tobacco and heavy drinking. Turn this all into something good.
