Welcome back. People were asking about you just about a month ago. Sorry to hear you need more surgery. Hope you are doing well.
Anita, Minnie,
They removed my 16 rear teeth prior to radiation, dump fool that I was to let them do it. This left me with no rear teeth, upper or lower, for a year and a half and my face caved in around the mouth. Now even with partials I still have the wrinkles. Ugh! I certain the radiation contributed to this also.
Take care,
Eileen
