Did you know you can be at risk of oral cancer, even if you’re a non-smoker? That’s right. Oral cancer, often considered an invisible killer, can affect anyone, regardless of their smoking habits. In this episode, Nina Daniels, our host and a cancer survivor, opens up about her experience with oral cancer, which she was diagnosed with at 16. Despite not being fond of discussing her personal journey with cancer, she recognizes the importance of shedding light on the topic to help others navigate life with this disease.
Oral cancer is a particularly challenging form of cancer because it can often go unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage. Nina emphasizes the significance of early detection, as catching oral cancer early can make a significant difference in the outcome of treatment. While it may not necessarily be a fatal cancer, it can cause substantial damage to the face and body.
Nina shares her personal story of undergoing oral cancer surgery and its impact on her life. She understands firsthand the physical and emotional challenges that come with such a diagnosis.
