Jerry, I am so happy to read your post. I only wish more dentists and office assistants would do the same. My dentist and an oral surgeon missed cancer on my tongue (and it looked pretty bad). Finally, I was referred to my current oral surgeon and he took one look and knew what I had.
My son attends a college in NC, he told me that most of the guys on his LAX team "dip". Same with my daughter, she attends college in TN, she said most guys, even some girls walk around "packing a lip". They both told me about a commercial on TV with a young man who "dipped" from a young age and got oral cancer and is now very deformed from surgeries, and visits colleges to talk about it. God Bless this brave young man. Thank you Jerry for your efforts! I wish more were like you! Carol
