I saw the Gray's Anatomy story and the short segment on CBS Sunday Morning. I am just so happy that ANYTHING about oral cancer was discussed on tv.

Knowledge is power! And a little knowledge can go a long way ... especially if the tv shows encourage people to ask their dentists about "that funny sore" on their tongue ...
