Hi, my name is Eva and at age 33, I was diagnosed with stage IV oral cancer. I never knew you could get cancer in the mouth! A late stage diagnosis can disfigure one’s facial appearance and affect eating normally and speaking clearly. Oral cancer can ruin lives. Caught early, this disease is survivable without great loss to quality-of-life.

How to catch oral cancer early:

  • At your dental checkup, make sure you receive a thorough oral cancer screening.
  • Get educated by your dental professional about the signs, symptoms and risks. Ask questions.
  • Look in your mouth with a good light and mirror. Get to know what’s normal. SELF-EXAMS are a thing!
  • Feel your neck for hard, fixed nodes.
  •
