Oh! One thing I forgot to mention. A few of the ulcers are due to secondary electron scattering from a gold tooth cap I have. My RO was out of town this week and another RO caught it.

She came into my session yesterday and showed the techs how to put a medical wax on my tooth. When 7 sessions left they decided to not recast the dental appliance.



Keep fighting friends!
