HI Cate,
My husband has to be the strongest willed person I have ever known. He has suffered 2 heart attacks (3 stents and lots of meds) since cancer and this Jan of 2019 will be his 5 year mark to be cancer free. He just had another tooth pulled and after 3 weeks there is still a hole but we feel it will close. The tooth was so loose it had to come out and the oral surgeon didn't seem at all concerned about the healing so we are going to see what happens. This tooth was not in anyway connected to his sinus so he didn't have to deal with the water and liquids coming out his nose like last time. Hope you are well and remember One Day at a Time. Holes in the body are meant to close!
Husband diagnosed 2/13 lower lip scc in situ 2 surgeries never scanned. 8 months later diagnosed soft palate scc stage 4A, tonsil and nodes involved. Hpv positive.
