Does anyone know of a dentist who has dealt with oral cancer survivors.
I had surgery for oral cancer on January 31, 2002. I had a piece of my tongue removed and my neck disected - radiation and peg followed.
In Sept - 2002 I went back to work full-time - however now the other side of my neck is bothering me. I felt a small lump in my neck - but my doctor said it was most probably not cancer - it was tender - however, I do have to see him again in Sept.
My jaw feels a little different than what it just to feel - I went to a dentist a few months ago and she did not know how to treat me - since I had cancer.
So I need a new dentist preferably one who knows how to deal with a oral cancer survivor - and is afraid of dentists.
If anyone knows of one in the Bronx - please email me at
