NORFOLK, Va. — How does a healthy 43-year-old man walk into the dentist for a routine checkup, then find out he has stage 4 tongue cancer?

Dave Knight's life was turned upside down by a little white dot on his tongue, thought to be benign after a biopsy. Four years later, he was told he had cancer.

In this episode of Healthy Dude, Kurt talks with Knight about his diagnosis, treatment, aftermath and everything in between — including the part of his arm that is now in his mouth.
