Virginia, that is super good news and we are all glad to hear it!

About the lower teeth, implants are indeed possible (says a woman who owns some). First comes hyperbaric oxygen therapy to cause temporary revascularization of the radiated bone, then the implants are placed and six months or so later a denture is screwed onto the implants. All of this has to wait for at least six months and as much as a year after the radiation to allow the tissues to heal. Start fighting with your insurance company now to get them in the mood to contribute to the rather steep cost. Are they as good as real teeth? Almost. Better than dentures, by a mile, I have been told.

Again, congratulations!
