Arjun Verma, a 58-year-old restaurant owner,...
Arjun Verma, a 58-year-old restaurant owner, had been a lifelong tobacco chewer. For months, he ignored a persistent white patch on the inside of his cheek, attributing it to spicy food. When it became painful and started to bleed, his wife insisted he see a dentist. A biopsy confirmed it was a pre-cancerous lesion called leukoplakia. His oral surgeon, Dr. Mehta, recommended its complete surgical removal to prevent it from turning cancerous. Terrified of the word 'cancer,' Arjun agreed. The procedure, done under local anesthesia, was quick but left him with a sore, stitched cheek. Recovery involved a soft diet and meticulous oral hygiene. The biopsy of the removed tissue came back clear, with no signs of cancer. Emotionally, Arjun went from fear and denial to profound relief and a new commitment to quit tobacco, viewing the surgery as a life-saving wake-up call that brought him closer to his family.
