Several posts back I added updated dental information. Today I found out that Dana-Faber does not have a dental clinic. We would first have to see MO there to get an opinion/referral regarding a dental evaluation. We went there for a second opinion before starting tx at our local cancer center.

Since we already see a RO, MO, ENT PCP, etc., on a regular basis, as all of you are also familiar with, this doesn't seem reasonable. But I just don't know if I can trust local dentists. I suppose one option would be to first get endo eval done locally and go from there.

Is it possible to PM Jerry? How does that work? Lottie
