Cancer is understandably a dreaded disease, and late diagnosis often leads to the heart-wrenching results of loss. Early diagnosis and the right course of treatment are essential to get life back on track. And if professionals are not well-equipped or educated about the kinds of cancers that exist, it can be life-threatening for the patients.
Today, we have an oral cancer survivor and a celebrated storyteller, Eva Grayzel, who shares her unusual story of surviving cancer. She shares the impact and journey from the onset of disease to recovery.
Eva recalls the onset of oral cancer at the age of 33 when she, along with the health professionals, was unaware that a simple sore on the tongue could be deadly. She consulted multiple dentists for the treatment, but nothing helped her.
