2 | Friday, March 9, 2012 Hamilton County Herald www.hamiltoncountyherald.com Ominous billboard warns men of unspecified health issues The billboard on Dayton Boulevard in Red Bank, Tenn., contains an ominous message: “This year, thousands of men will die from stubbornness.” The billboard was clearly designed to send men to the Internet to search for the reason for the alarming message, as the Web address at the bottom, AHRQ.gov, is hard to see when driving past the billboard. Even a visit to the site might leave most visitors scratching their heads, as the national billboard campaign is not featured on the main page. A little digging brings up www.ahrq.gov/healthymen/, a page that cites data about the surprising ways in which men are neglecting their health and the dire consequences. More than anything else, the campaign appears to be aimed at encouraging men to see their doctor, and then continue to see their doctor on a regular basis. The sign does get one’s attention, and its message, however inaccessible, is a good one.

By David Laprad Oral cancer survivor to host annual walk On April 28, people in the Greater Chattanooga Area will recognize Oral Cancer Awareness Month by bringing attention to a disease that has long needed a voice. e third Chattanooga Oral Cancer Awareness Walk is being organized by local oral cancer survivor, Jeanna Richelson. e annual event, which she spearheads, will feature free oral cancer screenings, prizes, a silent auction, refreshments, and a special appearance by Sweet Georgia Sound.

Approximately 37,000 people in the U.S. will be newly diagnosed with oral cancer in 2012, which includes mouth, tongue and throat cancer. When found early, there is an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. However, due to a lack of public awareness, the majority of cases are found as latestage cancers that can be killers. At the age of 36, Richelson, a non-smoker, was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of oral cancer. She embarked on an eight-and-a-half-year fi ght, during which the cancer returned several times. Jeanna endured chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and the painful placement of a tracheotomy and a feeding tube. Richelson is now dedicated to educating others on the importance of screenings, warning signs and the complex challenges of fi ghting oral cancer as a patient.
