I feel this is a good place to share this story. It proves how many people have no idea about oral cancer. In my office we have a cafeteria with an outside vendor that runs it. I always wear my "Have you had one" button. The cashier said "have I had what?" I said "an oral cancer screening." She says "you mean, have I been checked for cavities?" I almost fell on the floor!!! So I enlightened her. Can you imagine?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I also started telling my mom about the side effects of radiation for OC and she was silent. I know she was remembering my doc saying I may need to do that in the future. I know if I have to face that I will have the WONDERFUL people here to help me through it.

BTW...I missed this episode. I want to check it out though...I'm interested to see how they do it.
