I was impressed by the OCF newsfeed article about dental oncology. Looks like Sloan Kettering in NY is on the ball and realizes the importance of special dental needs for OC patients. Here is the link to the newsfeed. OCF Newsfeed

David, you're right...it doesn't say how/where to get the gum, does it ? I'm wondering if I could even chew gum now with dentures...I haven't tried.
p.s. (I know where Eric is......he's at my house !! tomorrow is the FIRST EVER Chicago OCF walk)
DX 12/6/10 of T3 SCC Tongue.
Surgery 1/3/11 was hemigloss & forearm free flap, midline mandibulectomy, Neck Disection-All nodes clear.
Ended rads 5/11/11. Taste buds back to about 80%. PEG removed 4/5/12, experimenting eating real food again. If I can do this, so can you !! Stay Strong.

Hi Ingrid....I just googled, found the link to the manufacturer, copied below. It's an interesting article, will be looking into this product more as my husband heads into radiation in a few weeks. Ana http://sanammad.com/index.htmlP.S. I wish I could be with you and Eric on the walk tomorrow, especially as ya'll are just down the road. Instead, I'll be taking Vince for his neulasta shot (love whoever invented that stuff!) & giving him his home IV as this is a particularly rough chemo week. All 4 of us will be there next year, stronger than ever...:) Hugs to both of you and thank you for walking for all of us!
wife/caregiver to Vince, dx 4/12 Stage IV BOT HPV+ SCC, poorly diff.; T4N2cMo; U of C; Clinical trial, Everolimus; 6 wks ind. chemo (Cetuximab, Cisplatin & Taxol), 50 x IMRT, 75 gy chemorad w/5FU, Hydrea & Taxol; Completed tx 9/12; Just completed 18 mo scans, completely clear, thank God.

Ana, thanks for the info. Interesting; I have emailed them for more info. Sorry about the walk not working out; you will be with us in spirit. Best Wishes to hubby also.
