   Life Is Worth Living: Lessons from the Vision Summit with Jonathan Gegerson

   In this solo short episode, Dr. Brett Gilbert reflects on a deeply moving experience: delivering a keynote at the Specialized Dental Partners Vision Summit in Denver alongside his dear friend Jonathan Gegerson, a two-time guest of the show and oral head and neck cancer survivor. Jonathan's message was simple and powerful. Despite life's hardships, life is beautiful and worth living. And as healthcare professionals, the care we show patients gives them confidence, hope, and the strength to keep going, whether they're facing a life-threatening diagnosis or the everyday fear of dental treatment. Brett also revisits the article he and Jonathan published this year on the conventional visual and tactile exam for oral head and neck cancer. With roughly 71,000 cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year, these patients are already in our chairs. The goal isn't to diagnose. It's to learn what normal looks and feels like, so we can recognize when something isn't. In this episode: Why a few minutes of screening can save a patient, and an entire family How to approach the exam: what to look at, what to feel, and how to position the patient Brett's commitment that no patient leaves his chair without a head and neck exam The unexpected gratitude patients show when you check Finding your authentic voice in and out of the operatory "Don't block the blessing": how to show up for someone who's suffering, and how to receive support when you're the one in need Resources: Watch Jonathan's Vision Summit keynote: Vision Summit Keynote (https://youtu.be/GDR-9RZ1q6k?si=mz-cpmkz2J-AVXGj) Read the article on efficient, intentional head and neck cancer screening: A Life Saving Exam Article by Gegerson and Gilbert (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5v96a1sbfdvl2z0bwhwil/A-Life-Saving-Exam-Gegerson-Gilbert.pdf?rlkey=opjmovoh2m6peb4b3vwnaseap&st=p5xufxbx&dl=0) Get Jonathan's book, Perspective C (foreword by Dr. Brett Gilbert): Perspective C Book Link (https://a.co/d/042NX5dw) Jonathan's previous On the Cusp episodes: Cancer Never Wins with Jonathan and Laura Gegerson (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/cancer-never-wins-courage-caregiving-the-power-of-perspective-with-jon-and-laura-gegerson--74257496) How I Thrive with Cancer with Jonathan Gegerson (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-i-thrive-with-cancer-a-candid-interview-with-three-time-cancer-survivor-jonathan-gegerson--60349706) If you're enjoying the show, please rate and review On the Cusp on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

   Cancer Never Wins: Courage, Caregiving & the Power of Perspective with Jon and Laura Gegerson

   What happens when life changes in an instant—and never goes back to the way it was? Jon Gegerson has battled cancer for seven years, endured six recurrences, hundreds of chemotherapy treatments, multiple major surgeries, radiation, life-threatening complications and unimaginable physical challenges. And yet, when you hear John speak, what you hear most isn't fear. It's gratitude. It's faith. It's love. And it's an unwavering belief that Cancer Never Wins. n this deeply moving episode of On the Cusp, Dr. Brett Gilbert welcomes Jon back to the podcast—this time alongside the woman who has been beside him through every diagnosis, surgery, hospital stay and uncertain moment: his wife and caregiver, Laura. Their conversation is about cancer, but it's really about how to live. Jon and Laura open up about what serious illness does to a marriage, a family, your finances, your children and your sense of time. They share what they've learned about raising four children in the middle of uncertainty, accepting help when you desperately want to remain independent, and why caregivers are often the unseen heroes of the story. One of the most powerful lessons comes down to a single word. When Jon was diagnosed, Laura didn't tell him: "You've got this." She told him: "WE've got this." That distinction changed everything. Jon also shares why well-intentioned words aren't always enough. Instead of telling someone going through a crisis, "Let me know if you need anything," he challenges us to simply show up. Bring the meal. Cut the lawn. Make the call. Be there. Because sometimes the person who needs you most doesn't know what to ask for. The conversation also becomes an urgent call to action for every dental and healthcare professional listening. Jon's cancer originated in the salivary gland/head and neck region, and his experience has transformed him into a passionate advocate for comprehensive oral and head-and-neck cancer screening. Brett and Jon discuss why these examinations deserve greater attention—and how earlier recognition may dramatically change the trajectory of someone's treatment, their family and potentially their life. If it's not right, it needs to be evaluated. This isn't just another clinical responsibility. It may be one of the most important things we ever do for a patient. In this episode: Why Jon believes "Cancer Never Wins" What hundreds of chemotherapy treatments and repeated cancer recurrences have taught him about life The extraordinary—and often overlooked—role of the caregiver Why "we've got this" can be more powerful than "you've got this" How Jon and Laura protected their marriage and family through years of uncertainty Helping children process a parent's serious illness Why suffering can become one of life's greatest teachers The power of gratitude, faith, words, love and time Why accepting help isn't weakness What to actually do when someone you love is going through a crisis Why oral cancer and head-and-neck screening needs to become a greater priority in dentistry Jon's mission to advocate for better support and benefits for employees facing catastrophic illness How to think differently about the time you have right now The legacy Jon wants to leave behind Jon also discusses his book, Perspective C—and the "C" does not stand for cancer. It represents Confidence. Courage. Commitment. The book explores the power of words, time, love and even suffering—not as a story designed to make you feel sorry for Jon, but as a framework for approaching the challenges in your own life with a different perspective. 📖 **Get **Perspective C <a...
