I was sitting in the ER yesterday and heard this on the TV. I had no idea. Why is it not as publicized as breast cancer month (October)? It tempted me to do some research and this is what I found. If all of these effect us, then why do we only truly dedicate one month to being aware about one type of cancer?! Did you know this month was oral cancer awareness month?

Though all cancer is terrible some are worse than others and therefor get more attention. It is actually pretty sad when you think about it.

Nope to tell the truth... ~blushes

I had no idea it was oral cancer awareness month.. It's unfortunate that certain cancers are much less talked about than others.

I didn't know it was oral cancer awareness month, but my dentist asks me if I want a "screening" for oral cancer every time I go. Seriously, I thought it was just another way for them to make money...
I did some of my own research just now, and briefly (you should check on your own, I'm not a doctor) if you are concerned about oral cancer, you can ask your primary to do an oral exam during your annual physical, or you can ask your dentist for a normal, oral exam (they might even do this normally, but just not tell you?). They'll simply check your mouth and tongue for red or white spots that you would normally not be able to see by yourself. Also, if you have a mouth sore that won't heal, or that lasts for more than 2 weeks, you should get it checked by your doctor.
I haven't really found any evidence for getting the special light test/screening that the dentist keeps asking about (and of course it's not covered by our insurance, so I likely won't be getting it anytime soon), UNLESS you have higher risk factors, which include but are not limited to: tobacco use (of any kind), excessive alcohol use, or previous history of cancer (especially another oral or possibly head/neck cancer).

Didn't have a clue, oral cancer is one of those cancers (along with lung) that unfortunately gets looked at as self inflicted by many so it doesn't get a lot of attention
