You might not realize it, but some of our culture’s most beloved figures have died from oral, head, or neck cancer – from Babe Ruth to Sammy Davis, Jr. to George Harrison. But there are also those who survived, like Michael Douglas and Jim Kelly. Today’s guest is one of those survivors and he’s trying to help bring awareness to it. At 44 years of age, Jason Mendelsohn was diagnosed with Stage IV HPV Throat Cancer. With a wife and three children, he was determined to survive. Now he wants to stop anyone else from having to go through it too. He’s on a journey to stop oral cancer now.
On today's show, we chat with Jason about his journey and how he wants to bring awareness and the end of HPV globally. He shares insights both for those who are facing HPV and those who are walking through the struggles of cancer with a loved one.
