bpenner,

I had cancer in my tongue and was not properly advised to have my wisdom teeth removed before I went through radiation. Therefore, the doctors were afraid what is happening to you might happen to me. They put me in a hyperbarric chamber before and after the teeth extraction and all is well today 4+ years after my partial glosectomy and modified neck disection. If you have any specific questions, please let me know. I did not have a reocurrance, but might be able to help you.

Jim
