It's 2 yrs. beyond treatment and my husband is still fighting infection in the jawbone; caused by beginning radiation too soon after tooth extraction--not enough time to heal. Result has been a place in the jaw which continues to be infected even after WEEKS of CIPRO and careful tending to the spot. Doctors have even considered replacing his jawbone with bone (& artery)from his leg along with titanium plate, etc. which would be painful, disfiguring, and debilitating for MONTHS. Has already done hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Has anyone gone this long with infection but yet the problem was eventually healed? We REALLY don't want to have to do that surgery!
