Yes Donna is right, I had the rad seed implants and they almost did me in and was given up on, I came back to the day I before I was being transfered to an extended care facility to en my days . Naw, not for me. I live with pain as yu do and right now am going thru Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments. I guess this will help the body grow new blood vessels to cover the jawbone that is exposed on the right lower side. I don't complain too much because I am alive and can still laugh and enjoy people. My biggest pain now is driving 194mile round trips for the HBO daily. These you take for 2 hours 5 days a week, I wish I had some advice to give you beacuse I know what you are going thru. I have enough biopsies taken to make a new mouth LOL.. I imagine there are people that would love to see me with a new mouth. LOL One that didn't open so much. Good luck and I hope your Drs do something to ease the pain Momma. Jim
