I did not "fit the statistics" either. Age 50, female, non-smoker, drinik maybe one glass of wine once a week. And few cavities. Maybe if Doctors and hospitals could be educated to keeping an open mind and not making patients fit a mold they might diagnose these types of cancer sooner. I'd certainly send a letter to that hospital with a few xrays of my teeth! - Kris
