I often think about the poor breast cancer patients who went through the old Cobalt 60 form of radiation and got horribly burnt and damaged (I guess it never occured to me it would be possible for it to be used on oral cancer without totally destroying someone's mouth). I'm grateful for their bravery, which eventually allowed the technology to develop further.
