Three years ago, when George was 82 years old, he noticed a small white patch at the back of his tongue that was very sore.

After visiting his dentist and being referred to a specialist, a biopsy and scan confirmed that George had mouth cancer.

George was referred, diagnosed, treated and declared cancer free within three months!
