Denise,

Thanks for sharing such wonderful news and please wish your mom continued good checkups from me.

I personally appreciate the fact that you will continue to be an advocate for early detection. If there is anything I can do to help you along these lines, please feel free to email me. I ask every new patient in my practice if they have ever heard of oral cancer and it astonishes me that around 90% respond that they never heard of it. I'm confident that this will change because of people like you.

Jerry
