Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Welcome to OCF, Sohn! Im sorry you are having some post surgery issues. As Ive learned over the last 10 years from this group, almost anything is possible. I cant think of anyone who did not have rads but months after surgery developed a loose tooth. Its not easy to compare situations! Everyone is an individual and even if you have people who on paper are identical with the same age, sex, tumor location, treatment plan, general geographic location, physician/medical team and Stage they still could have vastly different experiences with after effects. Even experienced doctors need a biopsy to confirm exactly what is going on if something suspicious looking is cancerous. Im glad to see you are following up with your medical team. I know its not easy to wait but its likely to be another week until you get all the test results back. Wishing you all the very best with everything!!! Please keep us posted on how you make out.
