2 days agoI was told that if you have had surgery, they usually do one and then the other back to back. If you have NOT had surgery, my doctors and trials suggest at the same time (even starting same day) as it helps with positive play off each other. I had 30 days ( 5 days a week x 6 weeks) at the same time as 2 rounds of chemo (every 6 weeks). I made it!

I saw this on FB last night and for some reason, it reminds me of my Wife and I. She's right beside me and keeps saying "we got this".

"Pre-Radiation/Treatment Dental Checkup" I was scheduled for one of these.

9 days agoI was told that radiation to the head/neck area would cause tooth damage, but also that chemo could. Not for sure that it would, but "could".

9 days agoI've heard radiation anywhere near the face/neck could damage teeth. I did chemo, not radiation, but I had both a dental and vision exam prior to starting treatment, just in case.
