Re: Tooth extraction post radiation JamesD 03-22-2024 02:13 AM
Whatever it takes to improve healing speed. I had extractions without HBO or really put any thought into the side effects of post radiation extractions. That was early last December. Now I am dealing with osteoradionecrosis and it is painful. I see my specialist tomorrow. 10.5 years out and I let my guard down and now I pay the price. Do everything it takes to ensure your recovery goes well if you need additional extractions.

Hi I’m going on 6 weeks post free flap surgery. They took the donor site after on Feb 20,2024 the original operation was Jan 30 to move the fibula to my mouth. I currently am still in the boot. I have noticed some numbness on left side of foot and lower leg where the graft was taken. I know that things will be different now probably when I can walk with out the boot. I definitely was not prepared for this surgery. I wish everyone good luck in their journeys. I’m happy we have a place to talk. AML leukemia 1999 Oral cancer 2022 Oral cancer 2024 Nancy

Chris,
Thanks for keeping us updated. Overall, good news here. The swollen nodes in your armpits are of concern and you are right to get that checked out. I learned the typical path for oral cancer is mouth to nodes in your neck to lungs. But, hey, this is cancer.
Keep pushing for answers!
Best regards, Nels
