First over-nighter in the hospital tomorrow. Just a simple procedure, so hopefully I'll only be in there for the one night.I'll probably be back sometime around friday with some good info and links.
Until all this started back in 2010, I had never heard of a machine called a "Velscope".
It is a little device that most dentists have in their offices, but no one seems to know about.
It is a device that can save lives, and more people need to know about it.
The Velscope is a device that helps doctors detect cancerous and pre-cancerous cells and lesions, both on the surface, and below.
The examination is completely non-invasive, painless, and takes only just mere minutes to complete.
Oral cancer rates have been climbing at alarming speeds among people in my age group in recent years. I would bet that a large number of those diagnosed had never heard of a Velscope either.
So now all of you HAVE heard of a Velscope.
I beg you all to ask your dentist for a Velscope exam at your next visit...Encourage your friends and family to do the same.
It's 10 minutes of your life....and it could ultimately save your life.
don't think "It could never happen to me"
I sure didn't think it could.
*More information on the Velscope can be found at Velscope FAQ
