Hey everyone,
To let you all know about a conversation we had a few weeks ago about my need for dental surgery and the threat of ORN. I spoke to the oral surgeons office today. They are waiting for an okay from my insurance company and making the arrangements for all of the needed dental equipment to be in the operating room. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the oral surgeon, dentist and my radiation oncologist (together) to discuss the procedure. I'll have a lot more information then and will post sometime tomorow afternoon. I had a check up with my hematology oncologist on Monday. Got the all clear form her. Said everything looks good. Actually gained a few pounds. For the first time in a long time I'm back to 200 pounds!
